2016.04.13: roused

awake to whispers

long absent friend returning

slow gentle spring rain

2016.04.11: deliverance

storm clouds brewed all day

lighting and thunder precedes

long awaited spring

2016.03.22: arrival

creaking through the night

like waves buffeting the roof

roaring winds of March

2016.03.08: succession

in sunny alcove

old leaves rise in swirling wind

new buds crown stripped trees

2016.03.04: signs

robins sing at dawn

daffodils bursting the gray

spring is on the way
