Splash Into Spring

SPLASH INTO SPRING


A sprinkling splash,

a sudden flash

of ruddy gold -


the first spring stirrings.

A long, slow, turgid rest

supplanted


by these vital chimes.

Today

they share the sunshine's joy -


and ripple wilfully.


Last seasons debris

stirred and shaken,

the fish escape


their sedimentary rest,

herald the promise

of brighter days to come.


Like me, they must have felt

they'd plumbed the depths

for far too long.
