A day in May.

Apple blossoms blooming

Twenty-six years ago today this was taken
by Gil Cervelli 

outside

my window as I write,

I am lost in my reverie. 

Red Bud blooms, 

Dandelions burst forth,

(much to my spouses chagrin, but my childish delight),

Daffodils almost spent, 

Tulips limping along,

     till the peonies

are brought forth by small ants 

eating their way to beauty.

Twenty-seven years ago,

I did not see any of this spring beauty. 

(it was lost on me, truth be told) 

Instead,

    another beauty was springing forth, 

       a baby boy.
