Daffodil Season

In daffodil season

there’s always a

reason to smile.

Look out any south-

facing window in

our house and there’s

a sea of yellow heads

nodding yes, giving

their assent to sun

and wind, to mist and

pelting rain. They wave

and bob and bend like

members of the best

dance company the

yard has ever seen,

greenery and flowers

stretching between

earth and sky, their

sheer exuberance

teaching me all

I need to know

about blossoming.
