Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Spring Melt

As water melts and seeps
arousing new growth
warmth penetrates the frozen soil
as new petals break ground
early spring is full of blossoms 
looking for the warmth of sun
the misty morning dew hangs
heavily upon the ground
the chill of the evening
prevents fast growth
each year the process of regeneration
as winter turns to spring again.
