Spring


Spring

she lay in wait
for her appointed time

elegance complete
yet undisplayed

fragrance swells within
quietly

until the bursting

    Amazing metaphor, Patricia. I do relish the ability to take nature and explore life truths as you've aptly done in few words.

    Oh, this is beautiful! I think we are all waiting for the burst of spring. (You commented in my blog about having heard a Leonard Cohen song at a funeral. I think a lot of his really WOULD work well, now that you mention it.)

    I believe in Kingdom Come
    that we are all as one
    I believe in spring...

    to be continued in a song, perhaps one day.

    Your poem reminds me that as spring is secretly about to burst, magic is at work behind the scenes. All hands back stage preparing the spring spectacular show! :)

    I think I will possibly be fading out the sidebar buttons over at my site after the next 10 or 20 friends or so, but YOURS is absolutely next. And I think I am going to design it now...

    xoxo
