Blue Pushes Away The Grey

As spring leaps forward And winters shroud Is cast back The putrid stench of earthy damp soil And the litter of fallen leaves death and decay Along with freezing damp foggy mist that bites Fades and clears as the sun appears Pushes through the drab grey The blue pushes away The twisted contorted stretching tendrils Small arms of a rugged wrinkled tree No longer bend and bow to the will of the wind The cocky blackbird With its Black feathers and yellow beak Scurries and scrounges Among the fallen crumpled copperish leaves Hoping to find a morsel treat Athletic Squirrels jump from tree to tree The silver ribboned rippling winding stream Glistens and sparkles like diamonds brightly gleam Miniature mountains moist green moss covered Jagged boulders and stones the snaking stream Weaves and twists around With a rushing hush The air remains somewhat fresh and crisp Loses the fight and its bite As the yellow solar orb above warms up To kiss the ground with loving lips Caressing wandering fingers Stroke and tease the ground The fertile earth gives birth And rebirth anew opens up Filling creations bowl And thirsty cup The treasure chest overflows once more With abundant gems and countless gifts On nature's shopping list The nights get shorter The days longer As the sun awakes And becomes stronger each day.
