Each day starts earlier
As the darkness becomes shorter
And the light comes swifter,
Swifter into our lives.
I arise from my slumber
Into the morning
And out into nature’s realm.
I walk down the road,
Walk towards the wood
And it is all around me,
The vibrant colours of new life
Painting a new artwork
Into my life,
Each one unique.
I walk passed the blackthorn,
Whose bright white flowers
Belays its name.
As I reach the wood life stirs.
The birds gathering twigs and moss
Lining their nests for new life,
And their songs pervade my mind
As nature’s symphony assails my soul,
Bringing music to my heart.
New life abounds around me
As nature’s glory shows me,
Shows me that spring arises.
