Day 7 of the Spring Ango


Spring naturally has sprung
While aged trunk has fallen
Breaking chain of thought

The cold field warms
Awakening roots and seeds
Garbed in lively green

--A. Bloom


This was in my email when I rose at 6 this morning.
And my dharma sister's response:


Late snow quiets
the warming seeds
for a moment

--C. Altieri
