Past Present Future

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.


Balsam poplar   Populus balsamifera

Dry spring this year.

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.
