Each of you
Appears at just
The right moment.
Hummingbird
Whirring wings
Distinct from the
Buzzing bees.
A fleeting, enduring reminder
Love life,
Sip nectar,
Move towards
Goodness.
Black Bears
Hibernate
Heal, Look inside
A Den of your
Heart for Honey
Wisdom that’s
Sticky Sweet.
Red cardinal
Show up brightly
Bravely with your
Beautiful song
Sing.
Painted Turtle
Move slowly,
Patiently.
Pause in the tall
Grass. Breathe
Deeply inside
A Safe Thick
Decorative
Shield.
Sleek Doe
With Large
Brown eyes
Never underestimate
Tenderness
Gentleness
Sensitivity.
Joy bursts
Wide open
At the sight
Of all of you.
Reclaiming
A little
Girl’s delight
In being alive
As a grown
Woman
Blossoms
Nurtured
In her
Natural
Habitat.
