April - When the Earth Wakens

entry picture

April arrives bearing the coldest of winds

Cutting a cruel swathe across the land

Leaving early morning trails of

Frosted silver filigree

Bruising blossoms and buds

Which newly opened, tremble

Along the branch

Life begins, tender, frail, new

 

April, the month for growth

Named from the Latin, aperire

Charged with opening the season

Sacred to the Goddess Venus

Warming and wakening the chilled earth

Allowing small plants to stir

Break through unyielding ground

Lifting their heads gently

Searching for sunlight

Seeking out the moisture of April showers

That they may bear the bounty of spring flowers

A pleasing evocation of how the revival of nature occurs - with (to
adapt words from a famous song) "Those April showers that
come our way, they bring the flowers that bloom in May".
