Slow and Steady

Steadily
 the rapids flow, fast and quick,
 splashing up and down the stones
 then falling into the pond.

Swirls and ripples form
 where once still waters held one’s gaze
 now, a constant motion forward, away
 to reach the distant shores.

Sun light
  warm, erraptured blurrs
  fill the blue hued sky
  to stretch along the mornings horizon.

The day begins
  quiet and silent
  slipping out the shadowy night
  to blend and blind in the air.

From the earth
  a thousand green pointed shoots
  inch up a little further each day
  basking in the sun drenched warm.

Spring comes
  early yet anticipated
  ready to rise, living again
  in the newness of a spring day.
