Awakening, Recovery


 When the colors returned
 it began with tiny suns in dead grass,
 the bright cushions of thimbleweed.

 Then came the violets, the pink fluff
 of cherry blossoms, and then
 a slow explosion of bright green,
 the late blue skies, and at last
 the sweet candles of chestnut trees.
