Michio and I celebrated
the first day of Spring holiday
by biking over to the Kyodo no Mori park.
We missed the plum blossoms.
The trees were bare-
The pause before the leaves bust out...
A kindly old gentlemen seemed to read
our slightly disappointed faces,
as he pointed to some early-blooming cherry blossoms;
"The same ones as in Washington, D.C.,"
he reported...
There were daffodils, multi-colored poppies, camellias,
magnolias, ducks in ponds, babbling brooks, kids throwing frisbees...
But honestly,
I was content just to walk in the sunshine,
amidst the budding green leaves
with my son,
and just be.
Hallelujah, Spring!
Walking together silent
listening, seeing...
