tulips

The tulips have bloomed
their first time

this season, peeking
expectantly

from under meaty leaves.
Each morning

they yawn and stretch
slender necks

toward Heaven –
sending up silent prayers.

Ah, to be young
and full of wonder,

to greet each day
with head held high,

to have no motive
save seeing the sun.
