Quiet Tuesday

Here
Now the rain has cleared

A quiet Tuesday rises

Through the cherry blossom


I remember bluebells 

Beneath the trees at dawn

Violets by the stony brook.

And damp green  moss

Springing under foot

Just from the many springs

Of blossom long ago

Where once I could,

In freedom, come and go.


Here

Now the rain has cleared

A quiet Tuesday slips

Into a sunlit afternoon.
