Finding Spring
Nodding heads and waving arms
Cheerful and exquisite charms
Yellow, resembling gold
Imagination does unfold.
A yellow crowd looks to smile
As I stop and stare for a
while
Fish will swim and the birds
will fly
Sometimes there's blue in the
sky
My heart sings with certain
joy
Bright heads turn a little
coy
Bringing optimism around
Winter goes and Spring is
found.
Gold covers the grassy hills
A gang of careless daffodils.

ReplyDeleteWhen I looked just outside my low brick wall, next to my porch yesterday morning, I saw once again the new beginnings of my yearly tulips. I thought, I wonder how long it will be before the deer come and chomp off the flowers this year.
DeleteIt is so easy to focus on the negative, like I did yesterday. But reflecting on the beauty of your picturesque poem. this early morning, I changed my thinking.
I thought, "I'll just enjoy the tulips for the day or two they do last, once bloomed, because they do brighten my day, as did your poem.
I will not myself "chomp off" the beauty of what will surely come no matter how short or long it stays; a life lesson better learned, many thanks to you.
