Primitive humans couldn't fully understand about the
seasons, and often feared that warmth would never
return at all to their world after the hard long winters.

Well, it's been a rough winter all over the world, and I
don't know anyone that isn't holding their breath,
anxiously waiting for the first signs of Spring!

But take heart. The days will grow longer, warmer,
sunnier.  And they will become fragrant, pleasing, and
filled with birdsong--if only we can wait just awhile longer!

The sometimes tumultuous month following February is
aptly named, I think, hinting at the hurried anticipation we
all feel right about now:

MARCH!!

Spring Song
by Leann Marshall


...Comes first to me in sleep

Soul of Sol

Dance of light behind my eyes

Vivid visions then, of Spring,

Of every precious thing

Voice a distant thunder

In my ears

Lost horizon

Reappears

Please, don't let it end...

But then,

Heaven’s scent descends

Herald's bravest song

Begins

This promised,

Pastel wash of Dreams

Kaleidoscope of wings

A tickle of azure winds

Sends tender earth

To fits of giggling;

Yes,

I remember now

How sweet...

The kiss, the pleasure of surprise,

When World goes soft around my feet,

Of first opening my eyes
Welcome to Sketch Notes, the seasonal and creative
page of my personal Website:

http://www.leannmarshall.com

I enjoy reading and writing (check out my two fiction
novels, The Starfish People and The Rendering.)

I created Sketch Notes as a fun way to express myself
poetically, but I love to feature other writer's work with a
link back to their own Websites. Links to Sketch Notes
archives are at right.


My philosophy as quoted by Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe:
"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song,
read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were
possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”

Don't forget to bookmark Sketch Notes, tell your friends,  
and visit often!

future edition of Sketch Notes, email me.
