Spring slowly begins to emerge As the radiant sun parts the clouds Replacing winter’s cold with her warmth Which ignites the life within nature's true self The world of leaves and flowers Begin to awaken to bask in the glow Soon the lawn will be a lush green Like a soft carpet blanketing the earth Fresh new leaves will emerge from bare branches Spreading their limbs out over the ground They will shimmer quietly in the breeze As they soak up the awaited welcome heat The rain and the sun together Gently encourage newly formed buds To open themselves up to the world Exposing the most delicate blossoms Which burst forth in passionate hues That mirror those of a rainbow It is an awesome sight to behold This transformation that occurs When one season melds into the next Mother Earth gradually becomes rejuvenated As spring breathes new life into her Making winter’s tenure seem like only a memory All writing comes by the grace of God. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 04-04-2001).] |

I just have one question. ITS JUST NOW SPRING THERE!!??   Seriously, its been weird here for weeks now, between warm and cool, but I think we're finally past cold. It might just stay warm, and its beautiful here. Duh Me! Who knew that living near the beach means constant wind. So, I'm rambling. Sorry.  You have a beautiful poem here. The changing during Spring is inspiring for sure. still d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d |

Lone Wolf, between your words and mine, we have painted a very pretty picture. Was it a hard, long winter where you are? Winter is beautiful down here. Thank you for the picture. ME |

And just in time. Great poem! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

I love spring, and this was a delicate beauty of a description! Let's all go plant something! Gave me a touch of spring fever, LW! |

I like the last line. . . and I like winter. . . but I've had enough this winter to last me at least 3 or 4!! Excellent. . . ----------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

To me, winter is always too long!! LOL. I love the sunshine!! You are welcome, and thank YOU. walker - Thank you! Mysteria - Let the rebirth begin. Glad you liked it!! Sunshine - We have a lot to look forward to, my friend. Never forget that. Kathleen - I know you do, but so do I! Thank you, sweetheart. serenity - I love spring too. What would you like to plant? I'm game!! LOL. Happy to share the fever with you!! Sven - I know you are weird that way, actually liking snow and all!! ICK!! LOL. I say bring on the flowers!!!
