Author Joan Warren – From Winter Into Spring

Realize that nature is
Talking
IT IS SPRING – REJOICE!

Watch moving water
trickling
over pebbles and rocks,
meandering
through hills and meadows,
falling
over cliffs and boulders
into deep ponds.

Listen to ocean waves
arriving
on rocky shores,
crashing
and returning to the ocean.
Stand on a sandy shore
lapping waves
creeping near your feet,
burbling
as the waters return to the lake.

Walk in the early hours and
breathe in the robust and rich scent
of nature in action, exuding
freshness.
Feel the breezes sweeping through you,
and lift your smiling face.

See the day’s sunny blue skies,
warming
the air as you listen to the songbirds
chirping,
and feel the soft breezes
moving
through budding trees.
Later
as night falls,
include the moon and stars
twinkling
all night long.
Bask in the fresh air
and be comforted.

Welcome life’s energy.
The energy, freshness and beauty

we call SPRING.
