Month: May 2022

Standing
At a distance
From myself

Do you remember
The time you shirked
All responsibility
Tore up budgets and tallies
Forgot to worry
About the dog and the kids
The time you leaped
Into the unknown
And the hands
Catching you
In the flow

I didn’t have
A dream then
But I was dreaming

Is there anyone chasing you?
Pursuing you, without giving up?
Why are you running?

Carcass of the deer
Slowly being received
By the earth

Prairie crocus
Not asking
To be seen

Fresh water
Flowing through the land
Quenching a thirst

First time on the trails this year! Finally the snow has mostly receded, and the warm temps made for a beautiful spring adventure. All the remnants of winter still remain, but signs of spring are everywhere, including the iconic crocuses, Manitoba’s flower and one of the first to bloom each year.
