Spring Meadows

At last the winters' cold spell be broken
Lest soften the foggy freeze in your grip
Givin' rise to springs and streams awoken
Castin' loose ice clingin' on rocks to slip

Return the smells of sweet earth when anew
Once molded decayed old leaves start rottin'
Burstin' fresh in new greens and shining dew
Boney limbs a forest nigh forgotten

For pure is the spring as the newborn lambs
Stand on spindly legs that freshen life brings
Melt back down riverbanks flooded ice jams
Gurgles currents fast around its bend sings

So softly now is the grass turnin' green
Wave fresh across the sunlit meadows clean

About this poem:
Maybe getting a little ahead of myself as I long for end of winter that the growing, glowing, warming sun will bring.

On its way Yankee, but I feel you. I used to live in a very cold, long snow season and can't wait when the sun melts all those whites and all life back in order..

Thanks for sharing

I feel almost guilty as I write this..as the sun is shinning and outside ,I see snowdrops/crocuses showing their beautiful delicate colours amongst the grass and trees!
