After Midnight, March 20

Some made the attempt,

to stretch with slender fingers

and others
with gnarled, aged reach

lifting up high on rooted toes

but after midnight

     all grasped
    
for that elusive slip
then dared to prick ominous skies
to feel afresh tears

so that
when dawn appeared
to walk the horizon

she could see that
the slip had fallen
in frivolous and gentle

green upon their limbs.

Waving in an early breeze,
even the eldest beauty
bid Spring

a good morning.

I guess us old bushies would just say Spring said G'day, but you painted it in a such a delicate and poetic way.  Goodonya Sunshine.
