First Breath.

A breath of spring yet early lies

upon a songbird's call

to fall so sweet through lighter

skies bestirring sap's new rise.

A smile is strung on greening buds

as winter's race so long begun

has now to slow her pace.

nicely done, and some days in my winter have made me feel the same way, although today, with 18" of new snow on my roof, I'm afraid the song birds call would be for a sweater and shovel. 

 Liked this thought very much, keeps me hoping.

The thought of song birds

The thought of song birds needing sweaters and shovels made me smile. That was a one off day I think, it's been foggy, frosty and jolly cold ever since. No snow though.

Couldnt resist trying to capture that small taste of spring. Glad you liked it, spring shouldn't be too long. Sue.
