Unfolding.
Spring speaks to granite chill
as rocks warm to changing sunrise
above glistening curls of unfolding life.
Spring\'s tongue savours the heaps
of frosty-haired weed left by high tide
and licks new buds adorning the roadside.
Spring\'s time being short seeks out
empty hedgerows and nudges white
roots to crawl towards lengthening light.
Spring creeps in after winter leaves
to kiss growth awake with eager desire
for bountiful blossoms to please our eyes.
Praise for the yearly welcome gifts
in the burgeoning season of Springtime.
