Spring Breathes its First Breath
Wonderland challenge day 10 "daffodils"
Wandering
Through a field of
sharpened glass
I fly, feet and hands
driving me forward
touching the iced blades
in quick succession
Inertia and praise
carrying me as I flail
A blaze fantastic
🌾
Rays
of a prismatic sun
Pierce the cotton canopy
Shading my
revelatory call for
humanity
🌾
A burst of perfect
crystal confetti
Frozen abstract sculptures
Too minute
Too fast
Too abundant
To adequately
Appreciate
Explode in
Exuberance all around
🌾
Light emanates from
every surface and direction
The warmth of my heart
Whispers to the heavens
As whiffs of vapourous
Trills are sent shrilly
Into the ether
🌾
I spy a miracle
Spring's most precious gift
Yellow trumpet
Blooming on a
most mysterious
itinerary
Ignorant of the imminent
Freeze
You shrink and squeeze
Wearing a puffed-up quilt
Each morning
shrugging it off
As a golden hand extends
From the heavens above
