Race to fruition


And now the apple trees have entered 
The race to fruition, 
Their rough bark graced with rosy buds 
That open into snowy blossoms 
Humming with joyful bees… 
Let me lose myself in Spring, 
That I might hopefully ignore 
The dark changes in the world 
Beyond the borders of my yard; 
Changes over which I have no power.
