As they may have some strange effects.
And with such troubles we may r...

Resurrected

Resurrected 

 

Glancing from window

Into soft white snow wrapping

Signs of spring?

 

Long yellow catkins from twisted hazel

Where remains of distressed thoughts hung

Decaying yet diminishing as troubles often do

 

Frozen pond where jelly spawn from

Spent dead frogs was now protected

Ready to emerge as warmth re-appeared.

 

Tender plants pausing
