Time and a season in tune

I’ve been waiting for the blossom to
fall in winter,
leaves to blow around the streets
in spring.
I tried to set sail when the tide was out
like forcing the fruit of an apple tree;
I should have waited
to enjoy the sun.
Time is of the essence
and the essence is time:
Each now passes and is gone;
a simple stillness remains
What will be will be
spring’s breath silent like the fall –
the sun comes around

Morphing shapes of cloud
Animals across the sky
The mind is unmoved

Two swans through the mist;
drops hang from dank bare branches
Crow’s caw breaks the gloom
Copyright Francis 2022
across the rose fields
autumn birds are gathering –
petals flop to ground
