grass greening again
spring began early advance
air too warm for me

poppies and larkspur
bloom from seed sown in autumn
no sign of rainfall

high winds diminished
zephyrs blow dandelions
blue springtime skies

spider spins a web
backdrop of purply flowers
glory leaps from soil

day’s end yields pink peace
springtime sunlight waxed and waned
aromas waft forth

Roses of the field whisper divine poetry,
but you must listen carefully to hear it
because noise from the wheels of progress
drowns out everything that sings.

You love the roses – so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses!
Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and red
And soft to tread on. They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be
Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!
~Edited poem by George Elliot

He(the Lord) will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. ~Psalm 91:4  ✝
