Greening Time

The rains have come
and it is greening time
in the mountains
tree canopies explode
into being as the view
from my desk shifts
away from the world
outside to a wall of
green and I can’t wait
for the grandbaby to
get here and hide out
under the wisteria
in his own special
cave place surrounded
by the greening – it
is life abundant and
it is good
