Naked and Waiting For Spring

Flowers speaking
Wind breezing
Rivers flowing
Green grass showing
Snow is leaving
Brown leaves grieving
Winter clouds
Speaking loud
Buds are peeking
Sap is seeping
Earth brand new
Morning dew
Raindrops fall
Children call
Swing sets wait
Open gates
Spring is near
Our future’s here
Breathe the air
Love everywhere
Lay the past to rest
Now take the test
Put all a way
Let’s play all day.

Waiting For Spring
Snow is melting
Ice is slick
Wind is blowing
Air is thick.
Winter still here
A tease of Spring
One day it’s freezing
Another day I sing.
February is short
And yet so long
Can’t wait for warmth
Barefoot or thongs.
For now I will just wait
And take a sample of Spring
The cold winds of winter
Will continue to ring.

I guess God had a part to play in my late afternoon and evening yesterday. I was hyped and stressed at the same time most of the day. Professionals are not returning my phone calls. I just hate it when you wait and wait for a returned call and it never happens.
My son and his family popped up here and invited me to take my first walk of the Spring at the boardwalk. I jumped at the chance. Time to get a way from these four walls. A chance to let my mind rest and enjoy one of my loves in life, photography. I know I am not any good at it, but I find many tiny miracles of life through my lens. I thought I would share what I saw with you. You will see budding trees, a beaver’s nest, nature and my little buddy boy who brings me laughter when I am sad.
Oh winds you show your power today
My senses feel the hidden forces
It makes me tremble and shiver
As I know what you have done before
Windows rattle shutters bang
Dead leaves tossed in mid-air
Children buried inside their coats
Trying to walk against your winds
Could it be you are trying to help
Clean our land from before
Debris and already dead
Being hurled about
Tossing it on mounds of old
Giving way to new and clean
Ready for a season of growth
Or are you rebelling that your time
Has almost come to and end
And your tears show in sorrow
That you do not want the morrow near.
What ere your reason for what you do
I will be patient and watch your work
For I know that your time here is short
As a new birth of a season draws yet closer
Open your mouth and curl your lips
And give it all you have
I will pray for safety and strength
We will beat you at your game
You will not destroy what we
Have worked so hard
We will be hiding behind the rock
For you will tire and need some rest
And you will leave us once again.

Winter last so long
Where I live
It seems Spring’s so far away
I wish Winter would go a way.
Today is cold and dreary
Snow is sprinkling down
The grass that was green
Now white is lying on the ground.
Birds are on their way
To find their homes once had
Hibernating animals are
Are poking their heads and I’m glad.
One more month til legal Spring
And I am counting down
Please go a way dear winter
Let me get out and walk around.
