In the waking hours of a new spring,
a Geranium petal lands
on a pelargonium leaf.
A visiting plant-life
that has wandered through
vast waters,
finding our gardan, after floating
tenderly from the canary islands,
where the earth is warm;
where Spring is never new.

that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...

"Where spring is never new"

I sure like the sounds of that!  "Quaint" poem, and very fitting of all the anxious spring-filled posts in here as of late!

Loved it!  And I can't help but smile that
naughty evil grin...I can relate too well
with this...and I am now wondering if Dr. Freud is covered by my HMO...

Janet Marie...thank you. I am trying to get rid of those winter blues too! It helps to imagine the warmth.  

Amy, Thanks for your kind feedback. I always enjoy reading your work as well.  

January Flowers...I needed to do some quaint stuff after my dark mood as of late. It's time to look for the spring ahead. Thanks for the comment.

Balladeer..Than means a lot to me, thank you so much.

Serenity...HA!!! I never thought of it that way, but I am sure freud was lurking around in my brain when I wrote it. Looking back, you are quite right. I better make an appointment for the couch next to you!
