Giant basket of apricots rising Scattering its contents across the east Revealing frosty dried autumn leaves Used as mulch to make plants feast Light ice upon the birdbath Birds will have ice water to drink Aa chilled bath this morning Will make everything shrink The chorus of the songbirds Singing my favorite tunes I love what they've orchestrated They're my missing link All winter there was mostly silence Now the love birds are singing again Thank you, God for the magic On You I can depend

Yes, it is nice to open the door for the dog to go out and hear the birds in the trees singing once again, David. I appreciate the nice review of my work, and the time spent here. Sara K

Life has its ups and downs. But as Jesus said, my burden is light. Lovely imagery.

Victor, sometimes things seem heavy, but it is because we have not let Him carry the burden for us. Thanks for stopping by and the nice comment. Sara K
