Song of Spring - 50 Precious Words

Song of Spring

Dreary skies

reflect

forlorn feelings.

Willow wanders

into

the drizzle-damp,

into

the woodland fog,

lost

in loneliness.

Until…

skitter

scurry

Mouse?

No…

hop

flutter

Bird!

Watch…

Wonder…

perch

TRILL

Sunshine song

fills the mossy cathedral

leaving no room

to feel forlorn.

Bright notes

become

bright feelings...

freedom to

hope.

The Pacific Wren

The Pacific Wren is a fluffy ball of feathers who hops and scurries through the underbrush. When the male perches and sings, it fills the forest with magical trills, bringing the joyful song of spring to even the most dreary of days!
