Small guardians of Spring
poke through the remnants of leaves and snow
Proclaiming its arrival
in a vibrant golden glow.
Glancing out the window into my backyard, my eyes are drawn to a pop of color low on the ground. I realize it is a large patch of crocuses in their first bloom of the year.
It is nature announcing in a vibrant, energetic voice- “SPRING IS HERE! Come and see the renewal of beauty to this brown and gray land.”
I am so excited to do what I do each Spring. I go out and admire these small but strong flowers. Such a combination of delicacy and yet the power to rise.
I salute these guardians of Spring’s door and celebrate your return with joy.
Thanks, Cathy. The crocuses and your poem make me smile! Welcome, Spring!
ReplyDeleteYou are a natural in nature. I love how you express what you see. I am not a nature-girl, so I will live vicariously through your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donnetta. You actually touched on my goal to bring the joy of nature to others who may not experience it that way.
DeleteThe JOY of Spring! I can feel it here.
