The forsythia

The forsythia




The forsythia has busted out today
bushy spots of yellow
overnight, left and right.

A harbinger of spring

An army of tiny, yellow trumpets
shout out about the worn out
winter landscape

Heralding winter’s end

I remember wild bundles of forsythia
along the driveway
welcoming us home

With a wave of golden flowers

I remember planting forsythia
Along another driveway
Saying goodbye

With a heart full of hope
