The days
Ramble on
Speaking
Nothing
Diverse
Until a
Goldfinch
Visits
Bringing
Color
And a
Glimpse
Of joy
Suddenly
The days
Become
Alive
With hope
Speaking
New life
Will soon
Arrive
Syllabic Verse

The sun has come forth to help us
Celebrate Spring’s soon return
She awaits now in the shadows
Behind time’s curtain
Sending forth samples
Of her season’s
Glimpse of new
Life and
Warmth

I saw Spring today
Peeking out from her winter place
A Purple Crocus

Oregon’s highest mountain–Mt. Hood is also one of the loftiest mountains in our nation.
I feel blessed that I am able to live so close to it, visit it, and photograph it.
