Haiku for Spring
Springtime rhapsody,
the name of this love poem
here, in my bible.
Look! A young stag bounds
leaping mountains; imaging
masculinity.
The stag stands beyond
the wall, gazing at windows,
entranced by the view.
My beloved speaks
his invitation: Arise
my love, come with me!
The winter retreats,
withdrawing its rain; flowers
emerge from the earth.
Listen to the birds!
The fig tree produces fruit,
fecundity rules!
Fragrant vines blossom.
They call: Arise my fair one,
my love; come away!
