BEGINNINGS.
Morning's mist unrolls to boost
a sapphire-blue roof.
Shining above warmer footings
of luminous movement,
dawn's broomed grey reduces
night's cloudy hood
and time allowed I wish to use
chance to commune
with change as cycle produces
from dryness beauty.
Rising's rush to spot birthings
of Spring, unearth
modest beginnings of early
thrust through thirsty
need to clothe winter's bare
woods means staring
awed as re-growth prepares
from grounded lair
roused heads, patches where
Flora's combed hair
spreads glory over bald earth.
As Springs before being there
when snowdrop-wear
appears through frozen murk
I bend taking care
no clumsy foot must disturb
thronging joint fanfare
of snowy-white drops daring
their smile to uncurl.
Nothing compares mingling
with Springtime beginnings.

I enjoyed this quite a bit.
What a wonderful roller coaster through the dawning of a new season, and new paths that we may take as people.
The description usage is superb.
Lovely write! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Nick for the visit and comment and glad you enjoyed the description of Spring.
A fine write Fay.
A church may seem a bit ghoulish. Being Protestant, one highlight of their year is Archbishop Thomas Cranmer's martyrdom on 21st March each year. Erm, a nice start to Spring. Doh!
Well, hopefully they don't rub their hands in glee, and say 'Oh goody!'
Thanks for the interesting comment dear Orchi.- Spring as you say deserves its highlights.
Great joyloads dear Fay - a beautiful morning so full of promise.r
Ah - what a lovely poetic word is "joyloads" dear Michael - - so pleased you enjoyed the loads of praise I gave to Spring in the poem.
