Recovered from sleep
the green of the season
flows from every tree
unfurling, uncurling
tendrils of stem and petal.
Recovered from slumber
the morning dove greets
the sun with a love song
and the laughter of children
dances on air
like dandelion down.
Recovered from dormancy
newness awakens–
its beauty reminding me
that you are the God
of creation.
I praise you for the
unfolding of spring
and thank you
that “the skies proclaim
the work of your hands.”
Peace and grace,
Tammy

Hi Carol.
It was reminiscent of my view from the open window early this morning.
Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful! I love seeing God’s hand in the things that “wake up” in the springtime.
Different than I expected, enjoyed it though, nicely written. Fellow poet at FMF32
