Ode to Thaw

Thaw by a wonderful artist  Elisabetta Trevisan with the Toadies.

let me lay upon warm earth and feel

its life revive my winter hardened soul,

while you

warm the waters where I will splash

my restless feet in The Pond,

refreshingly

allow me to inhale the nectar,

with windows wide open, of air so pure,

as I joyfully

replace snow shovels with trowels and rakes

that I may turn over and enrich the soil,

finally

thawing this iced and cold landscape

where I may walk barefoot once more,

giggling when

tickling these ears with the sweet song

of spring peepers singing from the marshes,

savouring

senses enticed with your sensuous fragrances

from the garden with its bounty of flora,

weaving a garland

of crocus, snowdrops and ivy plaited in my golden hair,

all the while

Marjan Mozetich's “Affairs of The Heart”

wafts on the breeze, enlightening my own heart.

come quickly, I yearn for thee...Thaw
