Hope

Again Spring will be seen
in trees and budding green
snowdrops lighten hearts with hope that
knows again the curving earth brings
days to meander through, to pause
in warmth to contemplate,
and not be chased by cold,

In peace with the abundant earth
of trees and the changing cycles
of beauty to delight,

The birds and creatures wake,
sing time to remove us from the toil
of the tiring treadmill of thought,
we can share in their swooping and
glad when they stay in the sun
knowing that warmer days soon will come,

They awake us to the opportunity for quietness
leave the need to achieve
as sun on frost,

Dance through nature at peace
with the natural…and let be………………………..
