This morning there was enough contrast to see the forsythia on the way to church. No gray skies, but still enough contrast to notice gold in the lower light. Goldfinches have arrived too, but they have not changed color yet. They swoop disguised as common birds. Soon enough they will change and join the golden multitude.
The light was low
This morning.
We finally saw the bushes and sprays
Of forsythia,
Golden in the lower light.
Tree buds flashed
Spring green.
Goldfinches have returned
Not gold yet
But soon.
Soon they promise gold,
Swoop and dip
Tree to tree.
They are early too,
Like everything else.
Soon enough all the gold will be realized
In the low light
In the twilight
In the half light
In sunlight through leaves:
Dappled realized gold.
Gold will be there for the spending
The saving
The reflection when the sun
Shines through leaves:
Realized dappled gold.
