At Last

The long wait

 

In that long slow

stretch between

 

late winter and

true spring

 

the sky stands static

and gray until

 

suddenly

the dogwood opens,

 

forming a choir

of blooms

 

every petal lifted

like hands in praise

 

and we are witness

to a miracle we

 

can finally

believe.
