his smiling face warming
cold snap arriving

In my part of the world it is fall and dreams of spring and flowers
comes in the catalogs that arrive in the mail as soon as the harvest is over.
 .
.
winter dreams of warmth
planting new seeds and seedlings
spring full moon promise  
.
.
As winter goes on, the dreams become more vivid ~ seed orders go out~
seed packets arrive with photos of the promise of things to come with
the warming of the earth.
.
.
Warming of the earth
breezes whisper time is near 
dream of planting seeds
 .
.
Can you hear the whippoorwills, see the robins celebrating the fresh
earth worms in the warming earth.
 .
.
new life celebrates
birds return,  seeds are sprouting
earth springing forth life
lilac bush outside  window
mocking birds wake me early
