She Babbles away
~~~~&~~~~

After a snow storm
That left 18 inces
You wake up one morning
The silence
is no longer there
gone

the white that once
adorn the lawn
is now a few patches
Here and there.

At the edge
of our surrounding woods
resides a young spring
how young
Maybe a million or two
Years old
Give or take a few.

usually she's serene
If not dry at hotter times
Today she babbles
her songs away
Beautiful music to my ears.

Rolling clear water down stream
silent rapids speeding past rocks
snow melting away
supplies it song.

If this isn't fiction I think you are very lucky. I really get much pleasure from nature and I have been blessed. However I would love a spring like this close-by. Good work...Joyce

Everyone is writing about Spring?
I don't believe winter has started yet?
Your writing is superb though.
Have a Prosperous, Healthy, New Year in Spring of 2008

William, a beautiful nature poem, just my type..I was just saying this morning as I got into my car, I cannot believe how flowing the brook right in my backyard is this morning. I bet we heard this babbling at the same time today! Pretty eerie, don't you think..
Much love, light and peace to you my dear friend,

This is close to my heart, William. There is a brook just down the lane here that is born of a spring farther up the mountain. It always has water even in the driest summer; sustenance for the deer and such. In winter and spring, it babbles as does yours. Thank you. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

William, I too, love the sound of a babbling brook, I can sit for hours just enjoying the songs it sings and write words to songs or music...it soothe's the soul and clears the mind. I too, often wonder where its pathway leads to and how I would love to travel the route. Your poetry puts joy in my thoughts and makes me feel energy & love.
