Spring's greens seen
It just cannot wait
With Bright colors peeking out
And small creatures making presence felt
Just Alive!
Season moves
When cold receding
but just intermittently
It might just come back with vengeance though
It might just
Life's been good
Only keep one's head
So much more to accomplish
Hardships in between makes it more fun
oh i imagine that it will be back with a vengence...
ReplyDeleteit is not yet springs time but i bet it will be nice
when it finally comes for real...smiles
Such a positive message for all! Especially the last five lines, which spoke to me the most! We all have hardships but the only thing we can do is keep our heads up and keep going, persevering and enduring to the end!
ReplyDeleteSeeing a little green as the snow fades away sure makes my day
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. I can well imagine that winter might come back with a vengeance. I never really count on spring until mid-march.
ReplyDeleteHa, one never should be optimistic about winter's leaving. One can't be sure it is gone until April!! Good one, Hank.
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers that peek through the snow and whet our appetites for spring. And, yes, life is good.
ReplyDeleteSpringtime peeking through winter - the ebb and flow of life :)
ReplyDeletethe crocuses and daffodils always make me feel hope!

ReplyDeleteMay you enjoy your spring when it arrives, and continue to accomplish lots!
ReplyDeleteThe spring always come hesitantly Hank,. It will come and go so many times.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of folks yearning for the Spring; you've caught the mood ... and the uncertainty ... so well in these lines.
ReplyDeleteTony
Talent will peep through, sometimes way before its time. Like those crocuses in the corner of winter. Nice.
