| Sunrise, March 26 |
Spring arrives with thunder and lightning and rain
In Nantucket
Bolting over the lighthouse' regular beams
The winter friends still here- the buffleheads and even a late snowy owl,
While we wait for the migration of spring songbirds.
Oystercatchers and an egret have been seen
The grackles and red-winged blackbirds
and now the osprey and piping plovers
So close to the sea and the elements
the purist form of life
The daffodils push up to claim the new season,
And every human clings to the warmth of 40 degrees
The hope of renewal
Silver sea sea at first light with clouds
Honeyed light reflected up
The sun now moving north from its winter perch
The beginning of a dawn chorus of song sparrows, wrens, robins
While our winter ducks and gulls show to winter's hold
