Somewhere Beyond...March 2: Slice of Life Challenge

Somewhere Beyond...

Somewhere beyond

frozen--

a single bunny

stretches

long legs,

leaps

and nibbles

on clover

and clusters

of wild purple

flowers.


And somewhere else--

the tip

of a single pink

crocus pops

and

pushes its way

up

through frigid

ground;


A peeper,

long buried,

erupts

in a melted

swamp

below;


And velvety soft

fiddleheads

unfurl.


A flock of birds

take flight,

making an eager

return.


Soon pale aqua,

and soft speckled

beige eggshells

appear in

nests cradled

in tall trees.


And trees, newly bursting in

brilliant green--

wave,

like soft flags

in a gentle breeze.


Somewhere

Spring,

a long forgotten

story,

is ready...
 
and a new page,

filled with color

and warmth

and birth

and celebration

is about to

begin.
