1659. rise and shine



the alarm clock sounds
tender green shoots rise and shine
from their winter sleep  🦊❤️

I look at the still bare trees towering over me.  Then I look at the ground under my feet. The ground is becoming covered with patches of tender green shoots that are breaking through the earth’s surface.  Little islands of early spring life rising up as they hear nature’s alarm clock sounding. 🦊❤️
