Buried too deep Spring has come and come again Without warmth penetrating My protective shell Bloom is but a dream Rot should have claimed, withered Delicate shoots of green impertinence Into dusty brown But here I am And I swear I feel the sun |

Glad to see that the springtime's new sun is penetrating that protective shell of yours! May your green shoots burgeon with life, and hope, and joy! ~ because you deserve all the best, my dear friend!  Love and a sunny, springy hug! Linda  |

The trilliums popped up yesterday, and they are pretty smart. I think there's hope for warmth very soon! |

Oh boy, I can relate to this. Beautifully penned Ruth. Even those of us who thought we had thick crusts still have hope to bloom again. You bet we do! Loved this. Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

This: Bloom is but a dream Rot should have claimed, withered Delicate shoots of green impertinence Into dusty brown and ended with: But here I am And I swear I feel the sun VERY nice. Liked this. |

suthern - I thought this to be a poetic gem. Like a seed covered by earth hoping for sun, each of us when covered by the daily grinds of life looks for some sun and its warmth to regenerate. Thanks for your deft poetic hand creating a beauty. Loved it Namyh |
