lightening spring
by Mary Frances Spencerspiral down
magnetic darkness
intense negativity
attracts more
hides under the heavy
cloak fear
dire predictions
leaden footsteps
to nowhere
when light annoys
irritant spark
provoke
the hibernating
come out and taste
lightening of this storm
crack through clouds
melt the frozen
light a forgotten pyre
burn away bloated
as soft ashes fall
flower petal spring
must bloom
again
soon
03/09/2009 Author's Note: Too much negative news out there right now....just seems to make everything darker. Is there anyway to see hope as Spring is just around the corner? MFS

burn away bloated as soft ashes fall". |

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 03/09/09 at 06:32 PM You've nailed a funk that prevades this time of year alright. I try to remember that if we had no winter, spring would not be so pleasant. Then look for the little things, spring begins, bud, by bud...Great write. Thanks. |
