Crawling before walking through this garden of life
I learned to run and jump with joy
Spring's sunshine blossoms overcoming strife
Each day unwrapping a new toy
In summer's glow fruit did grow
Love's sap filled my limbs
My seeds falling to the ground below
sprouting new life where hope begins
In fall winds I stumbled and fell
storms my branches broke
Approaching dark skies tell
of future's approaching icy stroke
With snows, bowed unable to stand,
bent again I crawl on knees and hand,
laying prostrate on barren land,
awaiting spring's coming demand

Good write SB.
Thanks Orchi
The like button seems not to work. I absolutely love this, I make mistakes every day and every day I learn from them, your incredible pen ink always leaves me breath taken with your poetic way of showing your imagery and I always find such emotion. Truly a wonderful poet and a pleasure to read. Your last lines so perfect happy may day dear sorrenbarret.🌹
Thank you so much for the encouraging words. Once again I got flustered and put my comment to you in a comment to myself. So it is not only the like button that is not working but my own head. Thanks again Teddy your words are so appreciated.
Even I can understand a metaphor when it points to the journey so clearly. Thanks Soren.
I enjoyed the optimism embodied in the wait for another spring.
Spring will always bring new growth and wonder to our world soren.
