...3.20.11...

of ground still frozen.

of grass matted, flat

having a bad hair day.

of  colors still muted.

of snow.

still trying to hold on,

but losing the battle against the sun.

of muddy roads.

of daffodil and tulip shoots

piercing the soil.

of a leaf

that lay protected under winter's cover.

that will now return

back to the earth as it crumbles apart.

of awakening.

slowly.

of being grateful

for winter.

as it steps aside...

and lets spring happen.

of awakening.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

robin.
