Poem #26
The day that the salmon berries laugh with the trailing blackberry,
on that day I know Brigid has entered the grove.
The day that the lilacs and the viburnum drop petals near the pond,
on that day I know Brigid has entered the grove.
The day that the sword ferns and the licorice ferns adorn the forest,
on that day I know that Brigid has entered the grove.
