All Around Us.

Ground is swelling silently With a new vitality. Preparation for the time When added warmth sublimely Nudges shoots, underpins soil With rootlets, first oiling Tiny buds in cradled branch. After winter's melt they chance A peeping look at brighter Days, when sun heightens, fights Remaining cold and boldly Marshalls growth. Yet even now We discover early, thrusty All impatient leaf, bustling Forth alone, and if we look Around we see sleep forsook The braver flowers, like snowdrops. Heads now bent low in floppy Style, beguiling us with white. Yes, winter is ending all right.! ,
