Waiting
We wait
Patiently, not so patiently
We wait
Worried, praying, distracted
Waiting
Not for Spring
Who bursts thru the door uninvited
With her hyacinths, daffodils and blossoms
We wait
For You
To drench the earth
To fill the reservoirs and streams
To greet the salmon
Waiting off the coast
To give the bears a reason to sleep
Rain.
Here you are, at last!!
Please stay awhile,
Okay?

Thanks for this. Feb 2 was the first day since before Thanksgiving when this Philadelphian could go without longjohns. Late last night I read this poem and thought, 'yes, I'm ready for life-giving rain.'
This morning it looks like a blizzard outside my window. And so, as I read this poem again, I'm thinking, 'spring, so far away, so glad to be reminded that She exists.'
Thanks for this.
