Springlight

A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period —
When March is scarcely here

A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels.

It waits upon the Lawn,
It shows the furthest Tree
Upon the furthest Slope you know
It almost speaks to you.

Emily Dickinson

Guess I'm getting lazy with my own rhymes...forgive me! Even this is just a segment of Em's ditty. But it's nice, doncha think? Daffodils and crocuses are poking up. the grass is greening, and, best of all, the ditch will be running soon. Yes, I get very excited about our irrigation ditch every year. I'll tell and show you why soon.
