After a long work week, meeting deadlines - decided to vegetate this weekend. Went to visit my dear friend Forest Watchung (wikipedia link)- a part of natural reserve that I ventured into accidently. Last I was here was in November.
It has been brutal cold out here this year (where is global warming when we really need it ) - almost below freezing whole of last week - still ventured out to take a walk with a friend.
Sharing some pictures and thoughts.
Lake Surprise
Wow!!!! were his first words
White ketchup on tender log
Sleeping snuggly in her white quilt
Mother Earth looked so tranquil
Prodding carefully lest I wake her
Melting ice swooshing under my feet
Tis matter of time
Busy she will be soon
Caring for new born babies
Sprouting on these barren branches
Opening the gates for the breeze
To cradle them
Adorning the shrubs
With rainbow colored flowers
Inviting the birds and the bees
To sing lullabies
Wiping the mist of suns face
To let it shine
Setting free the butterflies
To do a happy dance
Calling Deers, ducks and squirrels
To tickle her
Rest dear Mother
Come I will soon
To enjoy your
Spring Bash!

Very appropriate title for an exquisite poem. Who could portray bliss in the wide expanse of bitter cold but a born poet such as you? Yes, mother nature embraces her creatures in a warm embrace until such time that they can all awaken and gallivant again in the warm bash of rejuvenating spring. You capture the wonders of transition in the seasons of mother nature. Thanks for the exquisite post. I love it. God bless you and your loved ones always.
