Only A Few Months



Over the southwest
Field, where new grass
Strives with old and
Yellow light lines
Earth, the blue
Hour lowers.
Air is still cold, but
Soon, birth below
Will lift flowers
And trees must sprout
Their lace of leaves
Across the summer moon.

  2. As I read this I felt the new life, waiting just below the surface to push through and announce the approach of spring.
    I felt my spirits lift...it won't be long now...:)

  3. Hello Geo!:) Many thanks for your visit and good wishes. I wish you and your nearest and dearest a very Happy New Year. I love the last two lines of your
    poem, Their lace of leaves across the summer moon. It's quite cold here, only 4deg and when I look out of my window and see the bare trees, summer seems a long way away,but you have left me with a beautiful image of promise.
    Warm Regards.
