Pasque Flowers

listening to the spirit

that lies beneath the surface

allowing it's languid and lively presence

to permeate awareness

as well as stance

grace rises 

within each breath

abiding a heart

of tender knowing

~

Pasqueflowers are a lovely sign of spring, 

rising through the earth before the grasses

have barely begun to grow.

Sprinkled in meadows and grasslands.

A joyous celebration of new life. 

Lovely Sunday and Easter to you!

Pasque flower

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
