Beneath swollen drifting clouds,

Swift new season breathes creation;

Energies balanced – feathers quivering,

Springs growing throng of tiny beaks

Sustenance yearning.

 

Earth yields its own in silence

Among tangled harmony,

Developing, green shoots not idle;

But with hush intent,

Stirring drowsy winter's soil.

Hi Rhiannon,

as soon as I read the I P for this week, I couldn't resist putting pen to paper and sharing my thoughts.

I'm glad I could evoke the activity of spring developing. I've even noticed some bees starting to appear, which is always nice to see.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Much appreciated.

But thank you so much for your encouragement.
