As She Lay Sleeping …

Exhausted, it is Winter’s time to rest.
Spring tiptoes in sprinkling raindrops and sunshine
with equal amounts of abandon,
coaxing flora awake from her beauty sleep –

Rubbing soil’s slumber from her eyes,
flora stretches like a cat in the warmth of the sun –
with final big yawn and rootlets finding her lady slippers,
she emerges with freshness gifted by Winter’s long nap

Who knew she grew?
Nature’s best-kept secret quietly giggling with its Creator –
Surprise!
As she lay sleeping … Winter did its thing.
But so did she.

Isn’t she lovely?
