Moments From While Blowing Dafodil Seeds
Greg A. Steinke
About this work:
Movements Based Upon:
v*White blowing daffodil seeds
catching on found dreams
as the summer is ending.
Leaves fallen bury the dreams
of long gone summer
blanketing our fears of cold.
vvOncoming winter beckons
whispering white fear
of the cold dark arriving
Springtime breaking free
melts the frozen cage
imprisoning light of hope.
A cycle never ending
blissfully becomes
a cycle ever being.

MOMENTS from White blowing daffodil seeds was written after a perusal of Riverbend, a literary journal published at Ball State University wherein I found the poem used as a metaphor for this composition. The poem and the composition also serve as way of honoring the memory of a very dear family friend, Virgil Adams, who passed away in November of 1992.
