The Footsteps of Spring

Nature’s unseen behemoth
Plodding inexorable
Its invisible passing marked only
By the Footsteps of Spring
Dotting the landscape
Along coastal paths serpentine
Tiny yellow patches
Quintuple inriflorescent domes
Umbel borne flowers
Like jutting floral stars
Signaling Arctopoides' perpetual journey
Sanicle Prince, He
With every step, heals the land
