A Refreshing New Day

Winter is leaving a patchwork behind Woven lumps of snow, for spring to un-wind Melting into flowing streams, easy to follow Right on down to the river bend's flow A place for my soul's revival, under tall pines, soft soil A nice place of rest from burdening toil I can imagine I'll be there pretty soon Set a date with my muse sometime before noon The river may show me something special to say Bringing with its music, a refreshing, new day Heidi Sands 4/10/23 Received POTD 4/12/23

"Winter is leaving a patchwork behind." Such a beautiful image, Heidi. Flowers appear, because Spring is here. I certainly love this time of year. May the birds sing a sweet melody, while you relax by the river with your muse. Your thoughts bring a smile to my heart. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
