Kissing Sleeping Beauty
\nby cricketjeff on November 16, 2011.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nAs twilight melts beneath the leafless trees,
\nA tiny shoot emerges from the earth.
\nThe passing days have warmed a few degrees,
\nAnother year can show the world its worth.<\/p>\n
The first few rays now rain upon the scene,
\nA splash of gold where grey had held the sway
\nIt’s winter still but one small hint of green
\nBetrays the truth that spring is on the way.<\/p>\n
No snowdrop yet has shown its pretty face
\nWhere dappled light makes patterns on the ground,
\nBut day by day the year slips into place
\nAnd shoot by shoot recovery is found.<\/p>\n
Across the glade small miracles occur;
\nKissed by the sun new beauty starts to stir.<\/p>\n
