Leap Day
comes in quiet like some ordinary day
the rising tide of light
washes up on the shores of morning
now indigo …..now easter blue
spirit returns from the adventure of night
and leaps into — rock,deer,tree,you,me
our fiery star leaps
up onto the ridge
throwing the glow of life
all over everything
giving us one more chance
to leap
from every day mind into
the wonder of being
rub the sleep from your eyes
leap into the body
your Life
into this very day
where there are
a thousand ways
to know love
and spring is a promise
that will be kept
