I wasn’t going to post this poem, but I decided do go ahead anyway. Some of them I probably never will and several of them I know I never will.
What the heck!
We had a nice intense sunny day. So I started to do a little writing, soaking in the sunrays piercing across the cold winter room.
My three dogs lying across my feet in the sun getting every sliver they could stretch out and reach for
I’d been getting kind of tired of the winter taking so long for the season to pass, I do realize it is just that time of the year and we do have a little while left to go. I think few of us are going through some of the same anxieties of cabin fever. I know I am.
Even though I enjoy having the four defined seasons to cycle through and our summers can be longer than the rest and I’m Ok with that. I need to be outside more than in.
Once the better weather starts I’ll be working more and having less leisure time to spend and that’s Ok too.
Still I couldn’t help it, whittling the hours away thinking of much warmer days in the tall grasses in the fields. Where the forest comes alive the air fills with insects, bees and the seeds floating to find fertile places to settle.
Nature's Awakening
In the spring when the darken chill
Slowly leaves the scene
Crocus sneak through the matted leaves
Poking their heads toward warm sunbeams
Songs of the bird’s carries past the trees
Forest awakens the woods
Creatures magnificent and small
Find the sun where they stood
Painted meadows beyond the shady groves
Is where, you’re leading me
Laying down in the fields
Hidden away in a sea of greens
Holding hands as we do our dance
Bringing honor to the spring
Love in the light of day, careful to
Stay away from the fairy rings
Hurrying to be getting back
Before the sun sets, it's getting late
Leaving the last touch of your hand
Lasting kiss at the garden gate
When the moonlight glows in the window
Through the shears
Dreams fill the room
Of the dance we held near
Seeds we’ve sowed within us
That one spring day
Committing our hearts
Is where we plan to settle and stay
