Where Planted
Category: Eve Moore Written by Eve Moore
Where Planted
My forsythia is in bloom.
It is late December in New England
and this herald of springtime flowering
is as out-of-sorts as the world
in which she finds
herself rooted.
Day after day
over the past
near winter weeks,
I watch as blossoms
here, there,
struggle
to open.
The light is so brief.
The dark is so long.
Is she conveying
some deep compromise
as I gaze on so seemingly
palpable a confusion,
this disorientation
of bud birthing
as the wider
world sleeps?
Is she tending
the feast of finches,
chickadees, blue birds, cardinals with
a prize of rare sweetness
for their service
to her legacy?
Or is she
demonstrating
that time is in fact
an illusion.
That all is fluid.
That new ways
are in the process
of becoming?
Concrete.
Visible
in our
spectrum.
Plain
in our
sight.
A new world
blooming
in the midst
of the old
falling
away.
Is this the gift she gives,
in our struggle
to hold light
in dark days,
a gift to see
the glint of stars
no matter the time
of clock or calendar
coming to new life
right before
our eyes?
Yes.
I choose to see the gleam
of her golden petals
as a beacon.
Starlight
amidst
a storm.
A marvel I
pass on to you
this brief northerly day
as it tilts its head
once again to
the thrill
of our
sun.
