Past's Prologue

The trees still sentinel stood

their green leaves whispering

rustling gently in the wood

and I know some summer birds

sang in their canopy

a requiem without words

 

'neath the same blue sky

What is that glint

                as the sod breaks and crumbles:

a sparkling hint

                of discovery

                as I dig the dusty summer soil?
