It hasn’t been icy
But it has been cold
Imagine a tiny bulb
Deep in the mold
Aware of its life form
Prepared to spring free
Into the open and the great
melody
Burgeoning buds
Brilliant belief
A Robin its breast
feeling the grief
Branches still bare
and brittle below
Where in bubbles life
about to bestow
On the world that it enters
a shaft of soft green
and within this shaft
a flame it would seem
a subtle arrangement
of blossoming silkiness
creatively striving
to reach into earliness
Breaks through the sod
Into a Spring breeze
Hear the bird songs
and the swaggering Bees
emerge
just a wee hint of aquamarine
Sending sweet hue’s right
out of the green
