           Zen of Spring

Though a cold-relentless wind
still stirs these bitter woods
on this dark side of twilight,
beneath a frosty moon
and infinite starry void,
the mind becomes the
  Spring sunrise
clean, pure, and bright
with all the new promise
and hopes of dawn.

              --- b. e. adams (3/20/13)

Spring is springing all around me down here in the swamp, Bruce. The first day of spring is deliciously wonderful. So keep thinking spring-like thoughts, it won't be long for you up there in those mountains.

I've heard of having a spring in one's step, but having a spring in one's mind seems to manifest a much better rendition for me. Thanks.

Last day of winter here in Maine with snow all but gone. Just a few piles on the edge of the lawn. Then comes the first day of spring and we get hit with a Nor'easter- 16 inches of snow! Still waiting and dreaming of spring.
Enjoyed your poem!

This Winter has seemed a rather long one ... throughout the N.E. at least ...
not so much snow where I am; however a very many really 'bitter-cold' days ...

Many thanks to each of you fine poets for commenting on my ever-so-humble lil' 'scribblings!'
