Setting a Course to Spring & Announcement

Setting a Course to Spring

Sun sets with golden shafts

along a still horizon.

Storm has slid out to sea,

only a stiff breeze remains

that shakes the tree limbs,

starts small white explosions

which settle across scene.

Now the blizzard has departed,

wood is gathered in,

a fire lit in stove.

Wind is not a worry,

the sails are set on a course

headed straight towards spring.

Spring’s Treasures

Spring’s Treasures

Buried bulbs, treasures of spring,

begin to stir in warm February breezes.

Captivated by balmy days,

which release winter’s worries,

with ice too thin to fish,

we begin to count our seeds

and beans, to prepare

for springtime’s plantings.

Stars and planets align above

as sleeping roses wonder:

“Has winter’s season subsided?

When should we awake?”
