BEGINNINGS.
Morning's mist unrolls to boost
a sapphire-blue roof
shining above warmer footings
of luminous movement,
dawn brooms out grey reducing
night's cloudy hood
and time allowed I arise to use
given chances, commune
with nature as changes produce
from nakedness beauty.
So I am away to spot birthings
of green, to unearth
modest beginnings of early
thrusting thru' thirsty
wait need to Spring-clean bare
scrub-land, to stare
in awe as re-growth prepares
from cold winter's lair
festival beds, places where
Flora's colourful hair
spreads ribbons thru' chilly air.
I intend to be there
when snowdrop gems' rare
show maybe shared
with one other who prefers
not to pick or disturb.
I shall view the first fanfare
of Spring's new wear.
Nothing compares with this
wealth of beginnings.

Hi Charlotte - - it delights me that you found the read so enjoyable and thank you for your kind and encouraging comment my friend.
Fine work Fay and I see the beginnings all round me. Currently in bloom in the garden: snowdrops, cyclamen, crocus, hellebores, iris, primroses, polyanthus and, as of yesterday, daffodils.
Me protests! Spring can't start until March 21st - cos me diary says so! heehee. I'm gonna sing: 'If I ruled the world / Every day would be the first day of Spring....' You hear that melody?
Yes! Spring ..... !
A truly lovely words is Spring to us all Lorna - wishing you all its joys.
A fine write Fay. Let's hope it's not too far away! We never know with the weather. Hope you don't have to write 'But then cruel frosts killed off the new growth, etc'
Lovely to see the new growth of Spring in garden and hedgerow - thanks for the colourful comment dear Orchi
Spring...new birth...
So beautifully expressed, my dear Fay! A metaphorically rich and luscious write...as lush and vibrant as Spring jewels! A very enjoyable read!

Many thanks for this perceptive and beautifully worded comment Laura - so pleased you found the read so enjoyable.
Fay,
you have captured a wonderful spring-time scene, and I'm sure I speak for many that we feel the warmth of the sun very soon.
A nice write
Michael 🙂
Oh Yes the season of warmth and growth cannot come too soon Michael - thank you so much for read and the comment.
Wonderful write Fay, fabulous and very meaningful last two lines.
