Three Poems by Maryann Breukelman

 

Companions

I let the snowdrops
guide me
through the night,
so capably
dissolving darkness

  

Celebration

daffodils smile

in sun and rain

and shout

so loudly,

so gleefully,

so boldly

they capture

all my attention

they

know

how necessary

they are

 

Momentum After The Rain Storm

a snail glides

quickly

over a blade of grass

all things arrive

in good time—

in goodness

in timeliness
