Last summer’s leaf rewinds time
New buds fast forward it to spring
But linger not in either place
Embrace today
This moment will not come again.

New buds fast forward it to spring

Even grass is slow to poke its way out of the ground.
It should take a lesson from the narcissus — forge ahead, even if the odds aren’t in your favour. Get on with life.
