Mindful Places
Bounties advance spring has sprawled
Silvery gray skies with powder puff clouds
The last decline of winter has since been forgotten
Sweet calls embark to gather a mate
Reminiscent of yester years
Blushing seasons whispering a favorite tune
Golden forsythias now nearly in full bloom
I remember as a child taking some into my small hand
I was filled with sheer excitement to delight my Mother
And I did so
With teacup parties in my sand box
And shovels and pails that scooped a tunnel to forever
The familiar smells and comforting sounds
The lovely red-breasted robins shagging around
Paging out her goodnight weeps
As I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep
The long awaited wondrous season has begun
The day ceased with the closing of the sun
