THE GROWING SPIRIT:
Discovery and Recovery

A Poetry Chapbook

EXPECTANCY ©   The tender shoot Pokes through the soil, Expecting the sunlight. A hummingbird Spies the first green tip of the plant Expecting the sweet nectar. An insect watches, Expecting a home. A human eye Expects a glorious blaze of colour. The universe waits, Expecting one more example of perfection.
