Spring



Full circle -
Spring has returned.
Nature is not a fill in the blank.
Or a paint by numbers canvas.
Colors -purple, blue, yellow and gold
pop between the million hues of green
unmatched by any paint found in a can.
Large bumble bees stride by while birds feast in the wet grass
occasionally taking leave together for
a new more fertile plot of land.
                                                                                                             The wet dew glistens on the top blade of each towering grass                                                                a sea of diamond glazed beauty.                                                                                                             A duck’s long neck peering out from below –                                                                                    Loch Nest Monster of the Kentucky Bluegrass.                                                                                  The creek runs over with a bounty of water
from the spring rains that came down all day.
I knew today would be a perfect day for along visit to my refuge.
Nature settling after the rains – just as I’m settling in my new skin –
Shed of many years now born anew.
