Author Joan Warren – Snowdrop and Crocuses

Bursting forth with beauty and energy.
So early!
The snowdrops offer the promise of spring
as they quietly survive the frigidity
of winter.
The white cuplike blooms of the snowdrops
that balance primarily on the
top of their floral tubing
share with the yellow and purple
crocuses with their linear leaves,
the promise of spring.

I stop and admire.
I feel the warmth of the early spring sun
as I breath in the coolness of the leaving winter.
I rejoice in the welcoming of spring.
