John Gondolf Poet Alexandrine

The Renewal of Life

The gentle rain that falls
and trickles down the walls
of gardens in the park
and wakes the Meadow Lark,
refreshes crocus blooms
as all of life exhumes.
What joy the season brings
with coming of the Spring.

Julia A Keirns June 6, 2020 at 2:28 PM I love writing about any kind of nature. I feel most alive sitting outside in silence listening to the world come alive in the spring and go to sleep in the fall. I really like this one.
