Single New Violet

IMG_1144Near where I lie
blooms a single new violet,
virgin to human view.

Through branches tipped
with green beginnings,
I gaze at azure sky.

The wind plays the forest—
tree-creak musical phrases
sound at thrilling intervals.

At my feet, the stream
skips, and restores
my composure.

The earth’s heartbeat
pulses up,
resuscitates my being.
