Spring Revived
Naked in their Winter bravery, The trees await the coming cloak of Spring. Deep sighs of the long cold months Exhale as the air shifts and I breathe again. A green so transparent I see myself through The splashes of early morning, And accept the strength I need. The charcoal smudged sky Highlights the greens as they bubble and spill like a refreshing drink - I quench my thirst. Bio: Helen Openshaw is a Drama and English teacher, from Cumbria, England.
