Sleeping willows awaken in spring,
begin to grow their chartreuse shade.
New branches stretch down,
creating ripples on a lake in a fireworks of new color.
Choke cherry branches filled with
last year’s freeze-dried fruit,
burst with fresh new life
and life’s possibilities
Spring birds warble,
calling out for partners,
singing soothing songs of nature,
in harmony with May breezes.
Grass, painted green with new life,
provides a canvas for wildflowers,
as dandelion and marsh marigolds
gain their footing in its sparse carpet.
Collecting memories, I soak in the
warmth and sounds of spring.
Letting its breeze
carry me away
to happier days.

Sleeping willows awaken in spring,
begin to grow their chartreuse shade.
New branches stretch down,
creating ripples on a lake in a fireworks of new color.
Choke cherry branches filled with
last year’s freeze-dried fruit,
burst with fresh new life
and life’s possibilities
Spring birds warble,
calling out for partners,
singing soothing songs of nature,
in harmony with May breezes.
Grass, painted green with new life,
provides a canvas for wildflowers,
as dandelion and marsh marigolds
gain their footing in its sparse carpet.
Collecting memories, I soak in the
warmth and sounds of spring.
Letting its breeze
carry me away
to happier days.
