3.3.14 Spring Is Singing Quietly

Photo: Spring is singing quietly 
beneath every sleeping pond 
streaking through the vessels of the
towering Oak
muttering amongst  the
Maple's buds, just
straining to hold back the
fray; the exuberance 
horses  at the gate
shifting restless
In place

From the looks of it , we still have
bitter cold of winter ravenous
birds come feeding working to
stay alive while we 
remark how pretty but
this is
serious  stuff

One errant chipmunk races past the
window yesterday somehow a
wakened from their
deep winters sleep
stirred by the call of 
spring

Out in the field I begin to say goodbye
Goodbye to walking along the
hills  so aged good
bye  to the grand expansiveness in
side of me with the 
wild winter storms whipping
by

Goodbye to the
tracks of creatures
Wind upon the sand the
only  way we know we are all
together, here
 
As the forest chorus and
returning Robins and
fleet flirting Eagles and
courting California Wrens all
take  me aside, say
'Is it not precious, 
here?'
