Buds of Spring

On a dark dreary spring day
where the buds 
cling to barren trees
with no spring rain
the process is slowed
tiny hints of green
peak out from buds
a new season of rebirth
as winter mould disappears
flowers begin to peak
from their long rest
wanting the sun's warmth
to push forward growth
each year brings changes
the dryness or wetness
will determine the outcome
of what is to come.

lovely nature observations here, my friend. Mum's end of life, they say, but at least she's still eating & drinking, albeit not very much nowadays. Hope all's well there x

Looking back at the lost poets and Time weve known each other. Looking for what you may say about the fires here but your on the western side. I miss those dear friends who were here often. I thought I was lost the other day. and I wrote about it.

You guys need to put those fires out. I see this is a month old. Looking way back I see us with over 10 years. I miss some of those old names.
