The sun is shining.
Our dog joins me for a walk.
Robins and chickadees are singing their songs of spring.
I leave the road and head into the woods.
Rabbit, fox and squirrel have all left their mark in the snow.
I follow their tracks.
A crow caws.
I look up.
It flies overhead.
I notice the buds.
I take a deep breath.
I smell her,
Spring.
She is ever so slowly awakening from her deep slumber,
leaving her mark.
I am in the moment.
I force the week ahead out of my mind.
I stay aware,
with the intention to enjoy
where I am right now.
I feel
the awakening of the earth.
I hear
the happy sounds of the season.
I smell
the freshness that comes with Spring.
I see
the renewal of her beauty.
Then,
I close my eyes.
I breathe deep,
I let the freshness of the air fill me.
You are here, Spring,
slowly peeking out.
I see you.
beautiful Kim, I hop spring will arrive here soon too! we keep getting snow the whole time...

ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI love watching spring arrive!
ReplyDeleteMe too, so very magical watching the earth come alive again.
DeleteWe have a foot of snow right now, but warmer temperatures are predicted for this weekend, so I have to believe Spring really is on the way. I hear the birds chirping and the sun is shining bright. It can't be much longer.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope it isn't much longer :)
DeleteWonderful poem Kim! What a clear blue sky too!
ReplyDeleteThanks KC! We have had some pretty nice looking skies since I got home, loving them!
