Waiting for Spring

Patience is the Art of Waiting

Waiting for Spring

Waiting for green

Waiting for blue

Waiting for frost to melt into dew.

Banish the snow

Barren with cold

Banish the winds that shiver and scold.

Breath of the sun

Quickens the earth

Husks that have slept are bursting with birth.

  

First comes the leaf

Then comes the flower

Heralds of spring will trumpet the hour.

Waiting for green

Waiting for blue

Waiting for frost to melt into dew.

     “I’ve always found this a trying time of the year. The leaves not yet out, mud everywhere you go. Frosty mornings gone. Sunny mornings not yet come. Give me blizzards and frozen pipes, but not this nothing time, not this waiting room of the world.”
