Awakening

The grass is greening up
the crocus peeks it's head through the earth
buds form on the trees
Mother nature calls for re-birth

the temperatures slowly warm
and the sun hangs longer in the sky
morning brings the robin's song
and evening, it's nightime lullaby

the world is being born again
in verdant hues of lush
as flowers bloom neath brightened skies
the landscape fills with plush

an awakening of the senses
all comes alive once more
newly emerged from winter white
another spring encore

Thanks so much, Noah...It looks like spring is finally going to get here on Saturday...
We will finally have 60 degrees if we are lucky.

Lyra~

What a wonder spring can be, the beauty and the freshness that surrounds us.....the butterflies begin to fly, and the birds chirp...and the glory of the flowers....you said it just right, an awakening....

HUGSSS

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart

Thanks for your reply, Michael...
Our next door neighbors just got back from Florida, last week...I guess people who live in Florida over the winter but go back up north in the spring are called "snowbirds"

My parents used to be snowbirds until they moved there permanently in 78.
My Mother still lives in Miami Beach, not too far away from you.

Thanks Maureen,
Yes it is getting warmer all over...even in Michigan...and I never thought it would, this year.
Now I am looking forward to some lovely thunderstorms...and not looking forward to them turning into tornadoes.

Thanks so much,Karilea....
They are Azaelea's alright, but I didn't plant them...I just copied the photo from Webshots....so these were real easy to raise....I didn't even need fertilizer...
The truth is, that I have tried to grow Azaeleas for years when I lived in my old house, and they would never grow there, no matter what we did, because we lived in the woods and there was a lot of competition for their roots, by all of the trees and underbrush...

And thank you so much for that very kind wish...I hope it comes true.
