Like any faithful river
Night flows into precious day
Yesterday’s peace emptied out
Tomorrow waits for its say
Fullness of life’s rhythm brings
Harmony to valley’s floor
Quiet interludes speaking
Morning’s dawn opens each door
Whisper of innocence freed
Confidence fills one more heart
Westerly breeze stirs goodness
Another day, set to start
Branches of promise gathered
Dreams sown from trustworthy seeds
Encouragement for next steps
Hope rises with every deed
Joy’s eagerness journeys on
Lessons drawn from yesterday
Tomorrow’s harvest of peace
Evening sky’s welcome gateway
The greater is one’s patience; greater shall be the harvest of wisdom.

Winds no longer blow
From cold Arctic ice
Snow stays far to north
Winter pays her price
Days growing longer
Nature now smiling
Winter’s time shall pass
Spring begins dialing
Nature’s busy tone
Some days, springtime halts
Hibernation plays
Winter’s final waltz
Trees wait with patience
Soon nature will green
Sun replacing clouds
Spring’s finest cuisine
Seasons come and go
Nature makes her call
Time for winter’s end
Spring’s voice now enthralls
Originally published March, 2021.
We are so blessed to experience another spring’s grace, filled with rebirth.
