Unfurling

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Sue Vincent

Spring stems from winter
Smouldering in cold ashes
Waiting for the sun
Petals unfurl in shadow
Alchemy of light and joy

    You look like you really ARE having a spring season. I am envious, but I did notice that our daffodils are growing, despite the cold. So there’s hope!
