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.
