     The Silent Wings of Spring

Trees draped in soft silver mist
under a cold-bright mountain
   moon.
Here beyond the distant sound
of evening bells and the realms of
   man,
Winter lingers without  compassion
in the hidden crags and corners
of this ancient forest world;
and yet, there are hints of
anticipation in a thousand
infinitesimally tiny things
of changes slipping gently
through the wilderness on
the silent wings of Spring.

Yep. Spring is less than a month away. Soon the bad winter will just be a memory. Life will blossom and procreate.

Such a beautiful way to welcome spring, Bruce. And it will surely be welcome this year.

thanks folks! ... there is though, unfortunately, some meteorological evidence of the
possibility for at least one more 'polar dome' (arctic vortex) deep-freeze event especially
for eastern N. America this Winter.

The anticipation of Spring, knowing how near it is, shall overcome!

(I told myself that after checking the forecast!)

Splendid reading! (your poetry, not the forecast)

That is exactly the miracle that we call spring! Very much enjoyed Bruce!
