Today’s ‘Throwback” poem, from September 2020, will appear in my upcoming new book “Until Eyes Hear Sound” … It’ll be the 1st poem in “Chapter 3. Nature and Existence”
Cocoons of Hope
the wizardβs blizzards have melted
dormant cocoons are wriggling
spring has exploded
out of the starterβs gun
with an awakening bang
and the chirpy blackbirds
are chorusing a different tune
their winter blue songs have gone
suddenly, warmth and sunshine
muster in the air
heralding a new season
of hope and prosperity

Sometimes, the seasons, they, creep up behind us, and, at other times, they come and go, without us, ever, noticing, them…

But, we think that we are, which is why, the world is, currently, so, messed up right now.
