Shafts of warm amber sunlight stream softly past curtains pulled to welcome the morning. Potted plants on the windowsill awaken, stretch to greet the day. A spirited song sparrow serenade surrounds the neighborhood with emphemeral sounds only nature bestows upon anxious listeners. It is spring. The world still spins, graciously bathes each soul in the eternal gifts of Sol. Immerse your senses, cherish the moment. |

Yo dear Kacy, Indeed it is the first day of Spring. I hope everyone is up for it. Here in the hood we're sure to be. We do have potted plants here, we're ready. Love Bobby |

Though the thermometer was reading 28F, the sun was beginning to warm the windows by 8 AM. Happy spring, Bobby. |

Ahhhh, lovely, Kacy! We, here, are sliding into Autumn, but our Winters are so much gentler than yours. I enjoyed basking in your poem so much and I can imagine what it must do for those still dragging their feet through the remnants of Winter! Not only is it the Springtime of the seasons - but also the Springtime of your recovery - and this poem is a delicately magnificent celebration of both! I love your poem for all of the possible reasons! Your muse is doing you proud! Thank you for sharing your happiness with us! Owl |

I especially love the ending: "warm amber sunlight... nature bestows... ...the eternal gifts of Sol. Immerse your senses, cherish the moment." applause for this seasonal 'penning' that so effectively "Springs" to the occasion! |

Beautiful! You describe our nice balmy weather here in Florida. We had a bad winter for us. This yard is all down and we are now cutting out the dead branches of most of the bushes. Some are just gone. I have never seen all the plantings so sorry as this year. I have been here for twenty years now. Connecticut was cold and we got spoiled here. But I won't complain becaue I did not have to shovel snow since I left Ct. Thank you, late |

Thanks for letting me share theses Sol gifts with you. It is still below freezing temps at night, but at least the sun shows its face each AM, and happy birds are singing Spring from treetops and telephone lines every morning now. |

Kacy..."Cherish the moment" So many gifts in a moment go unnoticed...thank you for this reminder. Your poem reminded me of a song from long ago called Mocking Bird Hill. You're probably too young to remember it, but I enjoyed the thoughts of it, reminded by your pen. |

Linda, hugs to you! Martie? I do remember that one, sung by Patti Page! "Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee It gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee There's peace and goodwill You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill When the sun in the morning Peeps over the hill, And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill Then my heart fills with gladness When I hear the trill Of the birds in the treetops on Mockin' Bird Hill" Thank you, Suthern, for your comment. |
