Writing under a Montreal sky

Hello pale blossom.
Hello damp cool green beauty
so frail, so delicate
forcing your frail delicate way up through
dark dense earth.
Hello faint hope, hello rebirth
hello vanquisher of winter,
pale bell that heralds all the rest.
Golden trumpets and scarlet or dark frilled tulips
and later roses, lilies , dahlias and exuberant vines.
You, small and modest are first.
Herald of change, of relief from cold and dark.
Hello snowdrop and welcome.

    My favourite flower! So humble, so small, offering all it has at an all barren time. Sign of hope and future… thank you for sharing! And happy spring and Easter!

      I have no right to complain of a long winter as we were many weeks in Spain. However, this little darling is one of my favorites too. See that your painting is coming along beautifully
