The Path of Life
A poem for spring
“Come on up! It’s time to grow and seek the touch of God.”
The air is soft with promise as rootlets heed the call,
and fertile earth shouts,
“Waken!
Burst forth and yield your all.”
—Gael Stuart
Today is a sunglasses-and-jacket kind of day. Sunshine spilled over my face as I filled my birdfeeder and headed to work this morning. The birds seemed happy to see me, probably because snow still covers large patches of the ground. But hope runs high in little birdie bosoms, and they don’t hesitate to sing in anticipation of bare ground and fat worms!
What a perfect morning to write a short spring poem, I thought to myself—and so I did.
Now I’m wondering if you, dear reader, have a favorite poem about spring. Maybe you have written one that can be featured on the Silver Sage blog? Please make a comment. I would love to hear from YOU.
