The Souls of Spring's Children

softly, whispering featherfalls on silent stone winter, gravity lost in the fog, birds grieving morning voicelessly remembering love dead diamonds, ditches glittering cold promises fossil furrow froze darkness, deepening the womb and the grave hiding secrets and shadows in the ground, waiting the souls of springs children sing muffled lullabies © Gail Foster 2016

Thanks, Tim. I'm not keen on the dark but I like to think I put a glimpse of light in this.
