(III)

 

From a nearby field.

A stranger waves at you both

welcoming the spring.

*

(IV)

 

Tracing your footpaths

you walk on the riverbank

bathing in the sun. 

*

(V)

Mist at edge of woods;

horses running in the fields

embracing the spring.

*

(VI)

Below the footpath
sunrise starts winking at you
yes, winter has gone.

*

(VII)

Returning sunshine
you walk to the woods at 7
not rushing to work.

*

(VIII)

Heading into March
you rush towards the forest.
Leaves still frost bitten.

*
