A Poem & A Painting: Signs of Spring

Happy Leap Day! Spring is in the air around here today and the temperature is forecast to be nearly 60 degrees ~ so welcome, especially after last year’s harsh winter…

The First Signs of Spring {excerpt}

The first signs of spring bring smiles and joy to us all,

Its the beginning of nature and the birth of the new season,

It brings life and renewal back to the cold plains,

Springing buds that will flourish,

Then open in full bloom for summer…

Spring,

Is the time to see how it all begins,

For what is way beneath the ground or hibernating,

In the spring shows itself and nature in it splendor,

For what decays and withers,

The spring shows its second coming,

From what lay beneath the ground all winter,

Springs renews in growth,

And mother nature shows her splendor,

Come the first signs of spring,

We all start feeling somewhat better.

Spring certainly represents a season of possibility and optimism to me. I love the symbolism of birds and the coming of Spring, represented in this week’s painting.
