Change comes

It's a tentative time

This,

Dam risen full

Ready,

Ready to burst

Like an apple

Fresh bit

Like the heat

Of an oven

Opening.

This dam of life

Of joyous heartfelt

Heart-lived, soaring

Glorious passionate

Rising up, rising out

Of the Earth

Her spirit infusing

Living.

It's a tentative time

The warm promise of

East winds on cool morns

Of reversals

Mood hijacks

Bleak wandering

Amidst growing dawns.

It's a tentative

Time

That deserves

Wide-eye honour.
