Nature whispers warming tones
“No,” the pessimistic minds reply.
Determined of a White Witch winter, they grumble in groundhog shadows.
Meanwhile –
Shaking snowflake buds unfurl
To chirping, flitting birdsong
Pushing, pulsing, happy faces open;
Drinking deeply from dew-warmed sundrops
Sparkling
Stretching
– Springing –
“Six more weeks,” the cynics warn,
Waking in the pre-dawn cold;
Shivering over cold, black cups of darkness.
Nature laughs, and paints the sky
In God’s finest pastel shades:
Pink, yellow, grey, but
Blue Blue Blue
Blossoms turn to watch;
Dancing
And we, caught in Springtime’s lively song,
Can’t help but laugh,
Smile heavenward
And sing along
The six weeks are up! The white witch has overstayed her welcome.
Nice poem though.
