Celebrating the Miracle of Spring






The Miracle of Spring


Miracles...

Come in all shapes and sizes.
They fill our lives and world with wonder.
But none more inspiring or sustaining.
Than the miracle of spring.
                         
We put aside our cares and worries.
To savor the moment.
And witness, once again.
The renewal of the earth.
                          
Slush, mud and snow.
Cloudy days of  dark dismay.
Gratefully, left behind.
And in their place.
The colors of the season.
Begin to emerge.
             
                    
Warm shades of yellow.
The full spectrum of greens.
Mauve and pink: a delicate floral  fabric.
Creamy, velvet white; as only spring can portray.
Blue skies, peeking out from the clouds.
The earthy, unmistakable  fragrance of the warming ground.
  
       
Miracles...I've seen my share.

        
But few compared to the miracle of spring.
A time to celebrate.
To honor the planet.
And all those living things that make it.
A miracle of nature.
Once again, come true.

Spring Is On My Mind

                                

It’s coming.

The quickening pace.

The earthy fragrance of the still frozen, yet warming soil.

The underground network of vines.

Forgotten seeds and  satiny bulbs….wait.

Wait for the soft touch of the sun-fairy’s magic wand.

                           
Shifts everywhere.

The horizon, the sun.

Birds return. Water rises. Animals venture out.

Earth awakens slowly. One eye open, then the other.

The promise: again renewed.

Life sustained.

As we gratefully anticipate, another spring.

A poem that I recently wrote to welcome this spring.

The emerging season, full of promise and on my mind throughout the days.

Hugs and Happy Spring!
