Early March

Vona Wilson

Spring will come
in your soul again
Winter lingers
there is yet more
to do underground
tending to the deeper matters
grief
questions 
longing.

Spring will come 
in your soul again
like bulbs pushing
through the cold
crusty earth
persisting until 
the green begins to show
Announcing: “I am still alive!”

Spring will come
in your soul again
moments
then hours
occasionally for days
Winter’s grief and longings
meet spring’s hope and joy
an invitation – 
speaking the beauty of 
what it is to be here,
what it is to be whole.

Waiting on Snow

Vona Wilson

It may be the last chance
To delight in snowflakes falling 
in the night sky 
Landing on my face
Like kisses when you’re falling in love

Let the cold come quickly
Wind, come and stir our spirits
to the new that is trying so hard
to emerge.

I opened the door of my heart to see
And suddenly ….
there it was
Joy on my doorstep
Piling up on the branches
of trees that hold the stories of
snows that have fallen here before.
They lingered in memory just for 
this day.

Waiting on snow
Like waiting on love
Arriving like
Joy on my doorstep
Unpredictable and 
perfectly on time.
