Snowdrops

Wild lying dormant
Under the earth
Bulbs full of energy
A forthcoming birth
Despite the winter
The frost and the snow
Time creates life force
It’s there below

Christmas has passed
Boxing Day too
The new year is coming
A cold moon in view
Snow will be falling
Roadsides will be
Awaiting the green shoots
The new to be free

Early shots piercing
The loam and the snow
A lot of energy
A new month glow
Fresh shoots break forth
White bell likes ring
Snowdrops apparent
Make our hearts sing

Grown by the god seed
Facing the wrath
Out on the roadside
Down by the towpath
Such beautiful blossoms
In icy cold climes
White innocence gathers
A sign of the times
