APRIL's AIR STIRS........

"Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world..." -Virgil A. Kraft

A light Exists in Spring by Emily Dickinson (excerpts)

The Wind is sewing with needles of rain

It stitches into the thin cloth of the earth

Oh the wind has often sewed with me.......

Spring must have fine things to wear

"Kerria japonica"

Of silken green the grass must be

Embroidered.

Of lifting colour from the ground

And after the crocuses the round heads of tulips

"Cranesbill"

And all the fair intricate garb Spring will wear

The wind must sew

with needles of rain

With shining needles of rain

Rhubarb  25 years old from Fredericton

Stitching into the thin cloth of earth

For all the springs of futurity...

"April's air stirs in Willow leaves...a butterfly float and dances.." -Basho (Haiku)
