There may still be three feet of snow up here but it feels like spring!!!!


Awakening

Southern zephyrs warm the chill
To thaw the grip of winter’s will
Birds from winter homes ascend
Sweet signal of spring’s impend
Idle creeks rise high with pride
Cascading laughter fast and wide
Flushing clean their winter’s bed
Of debris left by autumn’s shed
On naked branches leaves unfurl
Waving greetings in their swirl
Sleeping forest begins to rise
As sun sits higher in the skies
Flowers bloom, blossoms swell
Captive of spring’s magic spell
Nature rejoices, it births anew
To winter’s sleep it bids adieu
Awakening it sheds warm smile
With promise it’ll stay a while

Brian~ Spring is here!  YAY!   I live in Ontario too, except in the Southern part, but we still have a bit of snow to get rid of too.  I can't wait until it's all gone!  But enough about that, back to your lovely poem   The cadence is so smooth and seamless and your rhyme is perfection as well...you've truly penned a lovely piece tonite sir   I enjoyed!

Hugs,
~Krista

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.  
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

This is exquisite, Brian....
I know that Canada is gorgeous in the spring....once it gets there.
I, too wrote a poem about spring...with the same name "Awakening"
But...yours is truly a masterpiece

This is gorgeous, Brian. Three feet of snow? I'm happy as anything that ours has melted for the most part. *crosses fingers so it will stay that way* Good to see you again.

feel that sun on your face, Brian. I know what a fleeting thing summer is in Northern Ontario..... I used to live up there... the winters were way too long for me..... Glad to see that spring is here and summer is just around the corner....

Love, Light and Peace,

Sherry

Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow.
But above all... be kind to yourself today.
