It Seems Poem by Glen Kappy

It Seems

Rating: 5.0


It seems like more
than mere sleep—
we see the rigor mortis.
But sun begins
his daily ministrations
and the ground by fractions
starts to thaw.

Then birds come in
with heartening treatments
as if their twittering
could stir minute resuscitations—

the buds then swell
and blades break through—
and up and down and all around
a riot of color—movement—
sound and fragrance—
the circus for our senses
that is spring.

Beautiful and imaginative poem of the reawakening of the land. I’m always amazed at how much is happening, unseen, before the big outburst of life occurs in spring. Reminds me of my poem “A drop of hope.”
