the grating shrills, honks
of geese & gulls
do not bother me
the mercurial weather
of sudden rain & bright sun
do not despair me
i can wait
for marvel of fresh daffodils
& lazy unfurling
of cherry
blooms, time of slow
spring dance

Spring is upon as well... I think the cherry blossoms are out, and last weekend I went looking for geese... so I am with you a lot in this dance.
ReplyDeleteThis is exquisitely drawn, Grace! I so love those cherry blossoms! We have Cassia trees blooming here at the moment.💝💝
ReplyDeleteI love the graceful slow feel of your words Grace. Spring seems to move on quickly here in the desert.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful breath of spring air, Grace! I’ve heard geese and gulls recently, flying overhead – a friendly sound – I quite love the mercurial nature of spring weather, and you are so right about the ‘lazy unfurling of cherry blooms’; ours are definitely keeping us waiting.
ReplyDeleteHere in Slovenia spring also seems slow in coming. The first blossoms were killed off by snow and hail, but after rain the earth is blooming again.
ReplyDeletea lovely unfazed look at Spring - meditative and in rhythm
ReplyDeleteA lovely anticipation
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday
Much💛love
"Time of slow/spring dance" - what a lovely evocation of spring's "unfurling" beauty. Lovely.
ReplyDelete"time of slow / spring dance"
ReplyDeleteYes. If you want to save the moment, you must make the most of each one.
This is a juxtaposition between noise and quiet, sudden and lazy — like spring itself.
ReplyDeleteGreat patience. There is much to learn from this.
ReplyDeleteFresh reigns in this peaceful piece, Grace. Very gracefully developed. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGrace, reading this was very much like looking at a painting in a museum for me. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteYours,
David
Nice reminder to embrace the things that happen anyway!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! That would not bother me in the least ☺️ Lovely Grace.
ReplyDeletehow beautiful is this!
ReplyDeleteThat slow spring dance is really worth waiting for. We are in full spring mode here in NC. It is slowly moving up your way!
ReplyDeletei can wait for marvel of fresh daffodils
