Spring

I walk, head down, back bent
I have mirrors in my soul
I keep them hidden
my thoughts unbidden
come to mind.

Today is sunny and breezy
the trees sway
the ground still soft,
I do not sink
I no longer float
I am just
another footstep
In the history

Of you, of me
of even us,
in the rose
that rambles
and the brambles
that grow,
the ivy that creeps
and creatures
peep,
waiting for the all clear.

I will wait and watch
look at the veins
on a leaf
and trace
the trajectory of a life
that meanders
no purpose in mind

So lovely to see you posting, as always a real pleasure to read, love the line “I have mirrors in my soul.” Spring is a special time and full of thoughts and for me a little optimism.
