Dogwood Goodbye

Deep in the woods I buried a flower
Far below the leaves and scattered bark
And planted a wish that Spring might grant me
Fearing by May all would be dark

Through the snow of a fading winter
A twisted sprig broke toward the sky
Carved on its trunk were tiny letters…
"The gate's now open-your time to fly"

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
