let the unfurling begin

shoots slowly poke from the warming earth,

lemon pennywort shows its chartrusesness,

bordering The Pond, casting its glow

the furling begins

solomons seals grow inches in a day,

its shoots two weeks ago now are 2' high

and begin their drooping descent

the furling begins

caramel coloured heuchera glows red

during sunshine, its leaves uncoiled from winters wrath,

then will fade to its name,a sweetness amongst the leaves

the furling begins

hostas creep out and upward, their leaves guaging

air tempertures, tempting each other as if its time,

yes it is I whisper to them shadowed by the sun

the furling begins

fiddleheads uncoil from deep roots

making their ascent into the orchestra of life,

fronds soon to take centre stage

tthe furling begins

checkered lilies, purple and white

open their petals to reveal

a patterened delight

the furling begins

daffies once plump in encased buds

unwrap themselveves revealing faces

shining bright towards the sunday

the unfurling begins

stalks wrapped in red ribbons

jack in the pulpits emerge swollen

ready for springs sermon

the unfurling begins...
