Thomas Lowe Taylor -- spring

***************


last few days, terrific storm at the doors,
caulked the front door to keep the wind & rain
out, from blowing water into the house;

at the same time sick with a cold , sleeping
all day, dreaming the dreams at the end of
winter, a banging at the gate

on the email with you, bringing down the doors
opening the heart, letting the sunshine in,
ground here all flooded, sun out today, love's
renewal has entered
