POEMS/ On the Day You Came Back

Picture‪
On the Day You Came Back

I rose at dawn
and went to sniff
the blueberry dew of
morning’s sky
and the dogs began

to dance, catching
the wind of joy
inside the bell
of my voice-
seeing me running

to greet you
with petals of sun
in my heart-
me tasting the smell
of you again

in moon born
apple trees
branches glimmering
with welcome                       
white in the dawn
