earth note 668


inching toward spring
cold and dry
ferns beginning to poke up

they know when to open their eyes

the trail below the ridge top
worn by deer      wild turkeys
to trace every path

long before humans

the buds aren't quite ready
they line the river
quiet anticipation

the sky begins
to dodge thru shadows
where sparrows dance
