In a moment

In a moment,
a night,
a conversation or a touch,
the season changes
and color climbs out
of the long cold winter.

About this poem

Everything can change in a moment, and often we speak of it in terms of something bad: “It’s cancer” or “I’m leaving” or…..  But we forget, that moment of transformation can happen in wonderful ways too.

The picture is of an iris in my front yard. It wasn’t there yesterday.
