this day now blossoming

this  day  now  blossoming

awakening cool of violet dawn

leads into warming day

eleven a.m.

and the first bees of the morning now arrive

drawing in nectar of astonishing white cherry blossoms

to the northwest

astonishing light blue white haze sky

and puffy white cloud blossoms over the ridge

lifting my gaze

from blossom to blossom

my self i notice now

being here blossoming

in all this splendour

warming in the wonder of this day

now blossoming in my eye

and in my ear

now hearing the music

and dancing this same dance

i notice now

all creation dancing this same dance
