                          Eager longed for transformation.    

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.

Hello, Peter, you have beautifully captured the transformative power of spring, from the fading grip of winter to the vibrant resurgence of life. I loved your picture of nature awakening, with the sun's warmth melting away the cold and breathing new life into the world. It celebrates renewal and abundance, reminding us of the endless cycle of nature's blessings. This evocative reflection on the wonders of spring. - Blessings, Daniel

I really like the no-b.s. descriptions of nature, as opposed to the over-flowery sighing platitudes we often read on this site. Thanks, Peter. ~ Gershon
