I strolled among the small green fingers
Easing their way through the still cool soil
As the clouds played peek-a-boo with the sunlight.
This youthful time of year when even birds
Throw off their sobriety of frozen winter fare
For this soft and sweet fermented wine of life
Serenades the spirit as its winds lightly whistle
Through last years fallen stalks
Yet to be removed to the pile behind the shed.
Ahh, the lovliness and vibrancy of Spring! Beautifully spoken...a lovely image!
