The Spring is stirring from this cold dead white, From dark beneath oppressive night. The searching sun reveals how bright And fresh is morning air. May I walk within such light Where mercy soothes, where tears turn right, And humble hope plants flowers everywhere.
Linked to Cosmic Photo Prompt. Dale offered the theme of “Spring has sprung”.
Linked to Trent P. McDonald’s The Weekly Smile with thoughts of a coming spring smile to everyone.
Also linked to dVerse Quadrille. De Jackson (aka WhimsyGizmo) is hosting with the word “stir”.

Beautiful, both poetically and photographically, thanks Frank.

Nice photos and poem. It feels like spring here, though no flowers (yet) – today will hit about 68 F and tomorrow 65….
