beneath the arch
of bleeding hearts
grapes of hyacinth
Rock Garden Early Risers
Every Filament Alive
each catkins’ antenna
receiving the news
the time is now
Opening
each leaf bud
a catchall for light
incubating life
Spring’s Bread
come and share the table
no need to bring a thing
we will feast on green
The World Is Drawn Anew In Color
the slow rousing of spring
color and life
sneaking up beside you
First In The Garden
to the old oak leaves
piled by the wind
spring offers a pink bouquet
They Bloom In A Bunch
lean in, lean in
and be transported
on the sweet scent of spring
Flowering Light
like the sun
forsythia an orb of light
rising from the April lawn
Heading North In The Brave Little State
the green mountains
still wearing white
spring’s ascent is slow
The Energy Of Spring Seen
colors gather and intensify
until they burst
into bud, blossom and leaf
Arrival
the crocus arrived
as an outpost
of hope
Grocery Store Blooms
I purchased some hope
from isle thirteen
giving myself early spring
The Woods Endeavor
although cold and dark persist
the woods embark on greening
in moss, lichen, the needles of young pine
Welcoming Spring
kitchen sink
window sill
orchid bloom
The Greening Undaunted
the iris keep on
despite discouraging
evidence and occurances
Two Trees Crossed Like Skis
that secret place
we found
where winter welcomes spring
Portent Of Spring
as sunlight illuminates
a spot of green
faith restored
Hope On The Horizon
morning silence broken by
the whisperings of
delicate colors
From The Past The Future
shadow of the hollyhock’s
gift wrapped seeds
ghost of summer, prophet of spring
To The Right And Left
here in the center
of the spring garden
hope materialized and amassed
Overture
spring time’s
sublime slow opening
of raindrops and subtle hues
Sprinkling
they come in
by popping up
blue flowering rainstorm
Azalea In Spring
spring’s verdant touch
awakens the valley
so many beginnings
the universe unfolding
Swarm
like bees in a swarm
the trees industrious
in pollen production
A Good Morning
sunshine and new blooms
the kind of day
that heals hearts
Tender And True
more cherished for
winter’s long wait
spring’s hospitality of abundance
Trumpeting Joy
daffodils in part comprise
the cheering section
for spring
Early Spring Party Guest
one of the first to arrive
forsythia’s hostess gift
the light of a flowering sun
Elegance
a flowering baton
conducting the first notes
of the symphony of spring
Good Counsel
morning found me fragile
the crocus advised
of its potential
