While sun wakes worn down grass And grazes gentle slopes I sleep While winter fights with spring small dormant roots awake I sleep Below I live in lethargy crawl in search of air through cold I lived in summer's smile was fed through tubes or roots Grow this sprout once more entangle frigid stems arouse me *** August 6, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

A very good personification nature poem, Darren. The cycle of life expressed capably by your talented pen. Love and peace.

Sweet pen, another beautiful composition my friend. I do hope you sleep in cold, I hear there is quite a powerful heat wave cooking Europe. Stay safe dear poet xomo
