You have a mission of green
on a thirsty planet.
Your task is the grace
of a fallen raindrop,
plumb bud opening in snow,
a towhee at dawn
grubbing through delicate moss.
Be first among fragrances
in late Winter.
Disdain the cynic.
Release a gleam of April
from your loam bulb.
Don't waste time
becoming anyone
but a Lover.
Breathe peace.
Do beauty with your hands
and hope with your eyes,
giving a portion
of your light to strangers.
Insist on no other moment
but this one.
Simple words, my friend,
but they were born of many tears.
