Northern wheat doesn't rush the southern rice
No clock writes the field's advice
Bloom when the weather says so
December plum picks the thickest snow
March peach blushes before a leaf can grow
Southern rice pulls two crops out of a year
Northern wheat sleeps a whole winter clear
No notice sent no season missed
A ticking hand can't read a field like this
The calendar hangs on a wall;
The field reads the sky and the rainfall
Early isn't late and late isn't wrong —
Each one hums a different song
Different time zones —a different bloom
Early isn't better;late isn't doomed
Different time zones —a different bloom
Same ticking hands a different season's room
Every door on the street opens at its own hour
The early ones greet first;the late ones still have power
Fast feet don't always travel the farthest ground
Slow feet never owed a single round
Don't hold a neighbor's clock to a family's noon
Every roof gets its own hot sun in June
A rose in a pot and an oak in a yard —
Both are growing;both are hard
The clock keeps seconds and the day;
Which vine buds first is not the clock's to say
Different time zones —a different bloom
Early isn't better;late isn't doomed
Different time zones —a different bloom
Same ticking hands a different season's room
Flowers don't read the chart or count the days
Warmth arrives and petals find their ways
A clock owns minutes seconds and the light
Not which branch opens first at night
Different time zones —a different bloom
Early isn't better;late isn't doomed
Different time zones —a different bloom
Same ticking hands —and the whole spring has room
No race in the field
Each one blooms
