The sun has circled back without my notice.
No longer south of the poplars
now
on the first day of spring
it rises between the tallest pine and cottonwood.
That’s where I would build my temple of rocks
with a small space
for the sun to count the days
Geese and ducks circle in pairs
looking for a place to land
I sit on the ground under the apple tree
the cat on one side of me
the chickens, quietly cooing on the other
I feel like St Francis
I think to myself,
until the cat pounces, scattering the indignant hens.
Thank you for this photo and words, they put a big smile on my face this morning
Well that’s very nice to hear Lori Thank you!
This is amazing! I feel spring now! I can see the sun has moved over to a new position in our trees! Thank you, Maria! The sunrise begins my day!
We are sun watchers Fran. Happy Spring!
