Green!

by Deb Strafuss

 

Beauty! Joy!
glorious thing!
didn’t wait
peeked through the snow
and wants to grow!
 
  

Half my yard still blanket-wrapped
half uncovered shows
its love for life and sky of blue
the sun has warmth – it all feels new!

Oh Joy! Once more – again – is seen
The joy of Brown becoming Green!

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day – as we remember the saint revered for bringing “new life” to Ireland, so the celebration of this life heralds the spring solstice, the bringing of new life to a winter weary world needful of its own waking. With the leprechauns of love and hope and impish fun sprinkling the earth with drops of life begun, we will dance a spring of newness too, filled with life and touched with dew.
