Description

OMG! Thank you so so much for the DD! :heart:

--------

I wish it were spring
cunningly blowing on the fallen sparks, odds and ends of the old, scattered fire,
and kindling shapely little conflagrations
curious long-legged foals, and wide-eared calves, and naked sparrow-bubs.

I wish that spring
would start the thundering traffic of feet
new feet on the earth, beating with impatience.

I wish it were spring, thundering
delicate, tender spring.
I wish these brittle, frost-lovely flowers of passionate, mysterious corruption
were not yet to come still more from the still-flickering discontent.

Oh, in the spring, the bluebell bows him down for very exuberance,
exulting with secret warm excess,
bowed down with his inner magnificence!

('Craving for Spring' - D. H. Lawrence)

This is beautiful. I love the dulled tones - it makes me think of a time long-ago, almost forgotten. The strawberries are beautiful - it's nice to see them so fresh and new - like the spring grass just peeking out from the last bits of winter's grasp. Your flowers are brilliant - the effect is breathtaking - leaving me thinking about the baby birds that will be chirruping from lilac bushes, and the spotty fawns that will be running around and then destroying my garden because I have all sorts of tasty treats. It brings back memories of the days I would pick lilacs for my mom and eat strawberries outside....This piece is brilliant.
