Apollo greets Artemis this morning
With radiance overflowing, his arms
Open as sunlight tumbles down bodies
Of trees whose broad branches carry leaf buds.
Life, affirmed, opens to love’s warmth and light.
The woodland will wake to Easter sunlight.
A squirrel, brown as a chocolate rabbit,
Taps last year’s leaves as if they were a snare
Drum and he, the keeper of time, waking.
There passes Hermes crossways on my path.
His red feathers and proud song are fearless, signs
Befitting a herald who speaks for Zeus.
Beyond this sight, a doe gives birth to her fawn,
Artemis keeps both, sun-dappled by dawn.
