Timed.
Winter\'s knife now lying buried
in burgeoning earth
means ice retreats as birdless
branch swells leafed and ready.
Sodden ground tires of trying
to create new movement
while soil ferments in mud pools
and underness struggles to dry.
Music of life unsettles the breast
of un-resting nature
for now timed faces express daily
need for change to greener dress.
Next-season push ever battles
as yellow trumpets attempt
cold openings thus winter relents
so Spring can begin her floral task.
