Breathing In Spring

flash of a white fox tail
tiny itsy bitsy red lady bug
yellow dots barely showing

walnuts, acorns, mushrooms
the fey must be cheering
the woods bring a natural silence

opens to a meadow of wild flowers
queen anne’s lace in delicate white
purple asters with yellow centers

cattails next to the pond 
straight as soldiers
splash of a frog

deep hoarse cough in the brush
flash of a deer’s black tail
my breathing changes

nature is my healing place
I sit in the grass 
feeling the faeries watching

oooh a hoot owl 
in the day time?
could anything be better?

Thank you Lonna. I do love spring! My lilac bushes are blooming today white and deep purple and I have violets all over my yard. Too bad we are supposed to get snow in two days!

Okay, so this is a really, really good one! Wonderful images from nature, and you slipped yourself in just long enough for a really cool ending.
