...the warming sun... the melting snow...days of a New York winter... Libation's Grace

torrential rain, mounds of falling snow
onto the receiving earth below
libation's grace upon land, farm and field
all to Spring's bloom and envisioned yield
earth and root so nourished they be
quiver of grass, the reach of the oak tree
libation be it present and ever so sweet
for the heavens and earth do lovingly meet
gift of the seasons with time ever unfold
feel I the touch of Spring's story yet to be told.

...rain...rain...Echoes of Green

heard is the robin's song
perched on the blooming dogwood
heard is the scamper of the squirrel
climbing the towering oak
felt is the quiver of grass
wet with the newly fallen rain
echoes of green echoes of green
the lush vibrant sounding of Spring.
