———————————————————sunrise
stems strain,
pushing thru hard-packed dirt
toward life-giving warmth
face turns towards sun’s rays
streaming through streaked
bedroom window panes
leaves unfold,
open in wide embrace
welcoming new beginnings
arms stretch overhead
easing kinks,
preparing body for new day
death succumbs to birth
as buds burst into bloom
earth blushes contentedly
with new life
depression gives way,
heart smiles as
hope ignites sighs of relief,
renewed possibilities
the crucible of winter is done.
To everything there is
a season under heaven.
(Ecclesiastes 3:3)

no – I can’t manage too much at the moment, so its a terraced garden down a slope, and half of it has nettles all over it! My fault, never pulled them out when they were small last year, so trying to do it this year!

Thanks, Emily. Was just thinking through my pen how plants aren’t the only thing that respond to the bright new light of Spring. And I struggle with the winter blues pretty badly (thank God for vitamin D), so I can’t WAIT for Spring to get here.
