drove an hour north
nearly to Canada
to find
some of the first spring flowers
in years past I drove over the Rocky Mountains
to be in their presence
(a longer, yet beautiful drive)
imagine the delight to see the Pasque flower
lightly scattered over the prairie like land
bathing in sunlight
being pollinated by fury bees
rising from the earth
after a long winters sleep
the joy of flowers
has touched the land
