are not privy to time lapse frames
speeding by or hopeful endings
where light lives and wind breathes.
They need to wait patient without a future
till first flights and colors call them out,
seconds witnessing dawn's duel
against darkness on reckoning day.

"They need to wait patient without a future": a provocative thought. How many of us are willing to do that? Sometimes I think we live too much with the future in mind and therefore miss what's offered in our immediate presence.
Thank you for a thoughtful poem, Kathleen.
Thanks Maureen. It is hard....the cocoon's darkness. And scary.
i have been peeking at buds, hoping to see a petal show.
