have you heard the news
that is rolling through the forest?
the swaying trees murmur "lean close
melt with me
follow the fluid of my sap"
I can almost hear
green growth pushing up through the dirt beneath my feet
bird song fills the air
a bear tosses and turns
soon to awaken from its warm winter lair
daily
murmurs
whispers
echos
spring is near
that is rolling through the forest?
the swaying trees murmur "lean close
melt with me
follow the fluid of my sap"
I can almost hear
green growth pushing up through the dirt beneath my feet
bird song fills the air
a bear tosses and turns
soon to awaken from its warm winter lair
daily
murmurs
whispers
echos
spring is near

Spring is near here in the midwest but maybe a little further in the distance up in the mountains. I think we can hear it coming. Your pictures and poetry may help bring it along. :)
ReplyDeleteThe flowing, blending, moving act of recreating the world that is spring--beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammie for reminding me why I love the four seasons and the transition from one season to the other. Your first photo and words have drawn me in and will not let me go.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and smiles
Wow is all I can say to that first shot.
ReplyDeleteYes, spring is coming your way, faster than here, it seems, since I have been seeing Montana wildflowers already.
Great job, as usual, Tammie.
Spring does come to us murmuring..melting ice, beaks in clouds, rains on softening earth Beautiful words to go with your beautiful photos.

Tammie Lee you describe so perfectly what lies within this landscape as the snow and ice melts awakening all of Nature welcoming Spring!

Those shards of ice are pointing the way to spring, Tammie. My Granddaughter and I spent time with her rock collection today. I was reminded of "your" colorful stones.

ReplyDeleteHave I told you I keep all of your photos saved in a folder, so when I cannot be near nature, I can live vicariously through you? What wonderful images you continue to produce!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shot - I've never seen ice breaking like that.
ReplyDelete...you're selling these or producing your own gorgeous coffee table book...right?!!!! Your collection shows a perspective of mother nature that I've not seen. And the way you capture it makes it so personal...like I'm right there experiencing it for myself.
ReplyDeletevery nice composition, i like how it leads the eye to the snow-capped mountain, and yes, i heard the murmurs in the wind
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't already know how warm that heart of yours is, I'd called you the Ice Queen, with these gorgeous pix. Happy news, that spring!
ReplyDeleteTammie, so beautiful! Spring seems to tease for a little bit, and then bursts forth in full glory! I hope you are enjoying the beautiful freshness that spring shares. Keep enjoying each moment!
ReplyDeleteMagical photos and musical words! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteStill looks so cold and icy. Her's to spring! Happy St Pat's!
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is exquisite! I just keep looking at it. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and poetry. The first one is as if shards of winter itself had washed up on the shore, and I love the straight-down perspective of the stones.
ReplyDeleteUna imágen muy faborable para la reflexión y la meditación.
ReplyDeleteEl mar y a fondo la alta montaña nevada es el arte de una BENDICION.
Gracias.
Your poem, your pictures--they just strike such a deep response in me. I can hear the gurgling of the water beneath the ice--I can feel the bubbling of spring about to spring up from beneath the brown earth...I am so touched by mountain, sky and icy shore.
