Spring
Growth, reveals, regeneration It starts and stalls and restarts There is a circular effect A desire, yearning to start more Perhaps before ready. The muddy ground still frozen Comes away in clumps, Patience is required To tidy up the edges only When we really want To sink our shovels into Mud..... Patience works area We are still waking Watch for the signs Brown, brown, brown, grit And dust To green and black Ready for the turning To reveal the sprouting Seeds of summer. --Ruth Sorochan
