Unfolding

 

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.
