Daffodil Daydream


Daffodils on my windowsill.

Subtle.


Closed eyes 
envision daffodils;
long, thin, green stems
giving rise to six petals 
a perfectly balanced star
of oh-so-creamy white
soft, pale yellow at center
just enough to stand out
whisper hello,
capture my imagination.
Tears fall where
words should be,
pen on paper
fingers on keyboard
clumsy and shy
doubting 
wanting 
but not knowing
how to sing
the truth of daffodils
as winter waves goodbye.
