Frozen snow-covered soil
now green once again

You slept all winter
you sleepy heads
The gray of days
replaced by the fresh color of lemon
You glow like stain glass
illuminated by the afternoon sun
You burst forth like a trumpet
to announce the spring
You declare:
Grateful we are
for each day
we live
until
we
rest
again

We watched a pair of brown thrush turn our garden soil while in search of a meal
Such focus and team work
