Where’s the Spring Tonic? Moon, rotund bullion, Not floating, but inching itself Higher in last night’s shadows, As if pulled by capricious stars and planets To join them in their Brilliantine escapades, as they decorated Newly budding limbs Of cottonwood, and hedge. Night air forbore Anticipation, as fingerlings of thought Urgently whispered, sleep soon… A little faster now, winter melts Once again, But spring is lazy this year, Hibernation sloughs off slowly As warm quilts still whisper Let me hold your dreams. |

Very beautiful imagery, dear Karilea. The heart already anticipates what's to come ... and dreams wait to manifest. Here too the grip of cold is still there ... even though the spring flowers are out. Love, Margherita |

But spring is lazy this year, Hibernation sloughs off slowly As warm quilts still whisper Let me hold your dreams." So very beautiful Karilea.. Spring is slow to take over this year.. it snowed again here last night.. Soon....soon. Hugs~ ~ Time has cast a spell on you, |

Daffodils grin and bud become blossom And I know, once again, that Spring is awesome! Love your word choices. Well done. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

But spring is lazy this year, Hibernation sloughs off slowly As warm quilts still whisper on its own time, spring will come i wait too |

Perhaps thy dreams demand a touch more time than ere usual plan unfortunately presented too few classes on the You that awakens to your slumber Many spend more work time asleep than waking while overhelming materialism falls away nights near dark hides shiniest baubles most carefully coordinated colors all fade to black the proper moment Perchance to be thy night duties have swollen unfair so true when one awakes more exhausted from dreams than physical labor still few pages _The Book of Life_ mention fairness perhaps with inequality's theme Seasons of the Sun Seasons of the Wind Seasons of Dreams may have entered Announcing a very different Spring To each year there is a vintage unique Melding sun water in Mankind Light Dark Moisture or Desert emotions And so wait to see what the harvest Will bring the cup life yours What Newfound Vintage might this Bring to thy Vineyard Which is itself inspiration for verse Merci and may this Vintage be a very special one indeed "High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy." |
