Spring
.
Life stirs after winter’s death,
Its long, cold sleep thru the snow and sleet,
Bare twigs and dead sticks
Tingle with awakening
And new life shows its nose
Gingerly testing before resurrecting;
A time of marvels and miracles
Where life lives and death dies
Under lightening skies.

How quickly it changes too.. I guess that’s why they call it spring… one day the skeletons of trees show through the woods and the next (it seems) green dots appear on the extremities, and then at the blink of an eye, poof, you can’t see the trees, for the leaves. Very nice poem Denise.

It does that here too, Jake. Spring doesn’t last very long and neither does Autumn. It seems Summer and Winter are always in such a hurry! Thanks for the compliment. 🙂

Well deserve as usual Denise, but the summer of course seems to take the fastest lane. But whichever the season we enjoy it as best we can..

Your verse, “Tingle with awakening…” so powerful and wonderful. I can sense the energy of the plants coming to life and giving birth—especially as spring is unfolding right here in the Northeast as well. Really beautiful!

I like the images of both a young animal poking out from the place where it was hiding and the image of an infant animal being newly born which the line “new life shows its nose” conjures.
