    THE EARLIEST BLOSSOMS

     

     

    She’s all alone, and yet content
    Without the sunlight glare.

    The surly breeze – her closest friend,
    She’s leafless, cold and bare.

     

    And yet, you herald spring for me,
    And not the freezing cold.

    Your scent extends a thousand Li,
    As blooming buds unfold.
