Melting Snow

melting snow reveals
tender grass shoots
stretching toward the sun
morning’s hope
dispels yesterday’s troubles

After the first late Spring/early Summer shoots that appear my winter mood seems to fade, not that I dislike Winter, but Summer nights are always spent outside in our beautiful garden on our wonderful porch, my Winter skin giving in to warm Summer nights - ahhhhhh so serene! Lovely Tanka my friend, let 2022 be a year of change for the better of all, best wishes and may all your dreams come true. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

For me it’s the day after Christmas—-winter hasn’t even begun in earnest and I’m shooing it away! But I’m becoming curmudgeonly about the weather—winter is too cold! Summer too hot! Spring and fall too short! -ps

:D Writing from memory. We rarely get snow here in the South--and rarely is all I want! Last year we had Snowmageddon--awful! Wishing you sunshine and melted snow! ~ps
