Don't you love the green space
that early spring brings us?
When the deep purples of hepatica
manifest their soft velvet royalty,
hugging the ground when
the rich soil warms in the woods.
When the vibrant yellows
of Trout Lily brighten
the floor of the forest
arching above bland winter leaves.
When the pure white petals
of Bloodroot unfurl and expand
in warm sunlight, then close
into a cup during overcast.
Don't you love the green space?
