So It Begins...

 Planting season has begun...

So it begins

The fallow grins

And lures the farmer to commence

Amidst the dust

He puts his trust

Of seed-sized faith in Providence

So it begins

The woodland spins

A diadem of emerald lace

Nature is stirred

With bud and bird

And anthems of amazing grace

So it begins

The barrier thins

Between the dreamer and the dream

As winter yields

To wakened fields

And babble from the meadow-stream

and why is this so exciting?!

Because a few days ago this!

 of course, 

an hour later this,

because winter's wild bluster is no match 

for spring's sweet kiss😎
