Spring

Spring 



A sweet whistling breeze 
Sways upon 
A mighty tree 
Bare and dead as it seems
Awakens from a deep sleep


A cool, crisp mist
Trails through the fog
A dreary winter left behind 
Buds open up
And leaves assume their position 

Black gloomy silhouettes of bird skating on ice 
Fish fossilized and frozen in time 

Nut and berry 
The awakening has begun 
The sun shines brighter
And for a longer duration 
Thunder brings rain 
And nourishment, 
Icicles liquify
And drip are rain drops 
Toads leave their hiding place 
To eat and to mate 

Such is true of toad and snake , 
Of lizard and bee eater 
Of flamingo 
Long necked and elongated legged
Flamingo assemble  for feeding and coupling 
Of moth and butterfly 
Of cricket and grasshopper 
Daises surround the place 
All the mamas of the forest 
Guard their eggs for summertime
Taking a risk on life 
They dig and build nests to survive
