Late January

Budding, preening tendrils in winter sunshine
Flora grasping, creeping from terra firma
Standing breathless, dawn is a sapphire calyx 
Hope springs eternal

Dale, depicting the breaths of seasons transference, with winter's exhalation, and the inhalation of spring. An admirable piece my friend, with my compliments, Aloha!

That's what I call true eyes of poet. God not accidentally gave you such sences, Dale. Otherwise, the world would be a much more near-sighted.
