Contemporary Poem by JJ Evendon

I can't say that I can
I can't say that I can't
I know some may
and I know some won't
everything I see seems in a good place
but around the corner darkness lurks
so where do I go?

Spring is here
and so am I
joined together with colours of daffodils
the breeze that once blew snow
now rests against a robin's nest
no old leaves on the lawn
feel the warmth of a sunny day

people smile but are they real?
Making a hole in the ground
plant seeds that will grow and excite
paper on the table turned by the wind
leaving a kettle boiling like a cumulus nimbus cloud
a call from the wild, she's with me again.
