Cross-Over Days

Cross-Over Days

I have noticed cross-over days

When one thing holds my attention

Like bright starred daffodils

So robust and sure of their time

Allocated by divine Order

 

Then bluebells

Ascending,

Bursting forth

One diminishes as one ascends

But for a glorious day

 

Both hold beauty in their beings

And bless me as I gaze upon them

Like the cherry tree

Soft delicate petals tower high

Beneath them leaves burst

While the apples who surround her

Take more time with their blossom

 

Then

For one or two days

Both cherry and apple

Gloriously

Beautifully and perfectly

Show me their most delicate parts

Before cherry drops her petals

And apple ascends into full pink perfection

the river is covered with discarded husks

 

No more need for the sheath

Where once new leaves hid

The wind has dispersed all need

For protection

The river takes this unnecessary fibre

Far out to sea

Where it will sink

To be made into food for monsters

And returned back to our table

 

Perhaps

If it weren’t for plate tectonics

Mother Planet

Would have silted up

Eons ago

Now is a messy

Glorious

Time of year
