Another Earth Day

gratitude for water
gratitude for grass
gratitude for the sound of rain
and the green growing sweetness as the seasons pass

The newt and the frog and the salamander
are on the move
from the damp underworld and secret mud places
into the quick torrent of spring

Balancing in beauty - a breath and a break in the cloud
joy and despair and joy again 
amphibian diaspora
four toes
