Mist of time

 Mist of time

This is the mist of time,

the nether days

when sleepy winter

way-leaves for trees to wake,

nudging spring from slumberous torpor.

Snow becomes snowdrops.

Crocus choirs strike up early colour.

Lambs tails drip from branches

as chandeliers, pendant jewellery,

and the early buds of new season

begin the gossip

that speaks of fresh redoubt.
