Wild Violets

Yesterday the sun came out,  
 winter gone another year  
Beneath the yew's  
shade and sanctury violets  
calm the morning sun,  
company for the dandelion as  
daffodils fade and sparrows tweet.  
   
The yew, dark and green guards  
violets cluster and surprise  
they were not here last year  
uninvited now settle beneath  
the evergreen ancient shade  
while cowlips in the grass  
spread comfort, reassure  
that spring has come,seeds  
carried on cold winter storms,  
perhaps the crow, in black feathers.  
Amerthyst crystals,once  charmed  
ancients,blue, dark as  summer night    
comfort for the faith-less  
.Next year your seed will bloom,  
fecund beauty are you here to stay?  
 Invade the lawn and welcome  
for now lie still and wait.  
 Blue flowers  shine summers eve  
while reds turn black on rustic fence.    
Simple beauty shames the lily in its purity.  
Stay please stay, blooms to bright my eyes  
leaves  furnishing my plate as    
moths graze and aphid sucks.  
Blue on blue on a summer eve,
