Spring Thaw

SPRING THAW what a sorry sight the poor drowned grass muddied o’er dirty snow with tracks but the skies are thankful for a chance to the earth restore and the animals seem to walk with quicker step breathing earth’s freshness are aware but not pensive accepting nature’s goodness

How I envy the animals their ability to live in the moment and be fully accepting of their circumstance. Complete purity of intent, and you have captured this well in your poem, which I enjoyed tremendously.
