Afterwards Valentine

It was still spring
When he returned 
Exuberant spring
Overwhelming him
For days he sat in wonderment
Getting as far as a stump
In the yard to watch
A raft of stars descend
As if to carry him away
Until he had achieved
A stillness next to death
Just to feel again and again
Its overcoming the passing through
Apparent in every leaf and stem
