this day now blossoming

awakening cool of violet dawn
     leads into warming day
eleven a.m.
     and the first bees of the morning now arrive
     drawing in nectar of astonishing white cherry blossoms
to the northwest
     astonishing light blue white haze sky
     and puffy white cloud blossoms over the ridge
lifting my gaze
     from blossom to blossom
my self i notice now
     being here blossoming
     in all this splendor
warming in the wonder of this day
     now blossoming in my eye
and in my ear
     now hearing the music
and dancing this same dance
     i notice now
     all creation dancing this same dance
