Late Winter Awakening


Nimble limbs moving

awakening from a deep hibernation

feeling a quiver of uncertainty

not knowing the situation


A quick assessment

sensing warmth and light

answering the question

outlook is bright


A few days have passed

now is the weekend

filled with joy

energy to expend


Snow has fallen

glistening in the sun’s rays

grateful for the untouched beauty

before sledding on this day


Love and laughter

comfortable by the fire

living in the moment

filling this day’s desire


Time to reflect

drifting off into a dream

life is beautiful

flowing like a stream

  1. Often it is difficult to think that life is beautiful. Maybe we are looking at the big picture and need to find those little everyday pieces of nature that are able to brighten our outlook. I found your poem calming and soothing.

    • Yes, it is difficult to find the beauty in life. I agree that the small everyday pieces of nature brighten our outlook and bring joy into our lives. Thank you. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
