I Am Called
I am called from deep slumber
To awaken now.
A dynamic spark firing through me
Beckons me from hibernation.
Emboldens me to germinate
Seeds of inspiration.
And as the icy shield melts from my body,
I feel a creative fire building inside greeting the sunrise
On this first spring day!

As March begins, my thoughts turn to spring, a season that takes it time to show up this far north. And as I await spring, I keep preparing by starting seeds early for the veg garden in late May. And I clean and clear the garden as the weather permits.
I am joining in with Poets United for their weekly poetry link up for poets who blog.

A beautiful awakening. I love the art!
Thank you Sherry. It is a rocky start to spring but that seems about right if I think about life. So I will just flow with nature for now as I awaken.
What a life affirming poem – I loved it!
Thank you my friend…..it felt right even though we are buried with new snow….I am ready for spring! And this poem felt so much more than just my waking from winter.
Is is spring already? Where has winter gone? Everything changes so quickly.
Spring is showing up in many spots, but winter is not ready to go here yet so I am entertaining him for a while longer.
I feel the same way about spring. As the world awakens, so do I. For that reason I am glad to live in a place where we have four seasons. If it was beautiful weather year around, what would bring about that feeling of rebirth or awakening?
Exactly Mary. I lived in Arizona for 2 years as I went to graduate school, and I moved back to NY because I missed the 4 seasons.
Love those seeds of inspiration, Donna! Keep planting! Beautifully penned.
Thanks so much Sanaa! It is amazing how the littlest things can inspire!
I can certainly feel the lush, the rush… in your words, the promise of spring. Yum!
Yes even with all the snow that has come yet again, I am feeling a push toward spring….so glad you liked it!
i feel the joy and anticipation in the words. and the artwork is so lovely. 🙂
i live near the equator, so no four seasons for me.
Happy you enjoyed the poem and pictures….I am glad for the 4 seasons but oh boy some do linger a bit long.
Awaiting spring – full of hope that it will bring. Loved it.
So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Not quite here yet… actually last week was the coldest of winter yet… but daylight is coming….
No, winter asserted himself for you and for me….but spring is close and we will both see it soon with that daylight! It is glorious….
I love the awakening, the call-to-action and the inspiration Spring brings you.
It is an amazing season….glad you enjoyed the inspiration.
What a wonderful poem! It affirms life. The artwork is lovely.
Yes when I wrote it, it went beyond an inspiration with spring, but an affirmation for life….I am so pleased you saw that! Thank you….
The voice of the earth. How wonderful!
Thank you Rosemary…..it is a wonderful voice even though it is a whisper right now as we await spring’s coming!
I do love your poem and the picture. I used to love Spring too. But right now my eyes are already itching from allergy. The winds have begun. Still, I know I will enjoy the desert flowers.
Oh that is too bad….allergies can ruin so much!
Glad to hear it – and hope you bloom bounteously.
Thank you my friend!!
To me, this is the song of the seed, hearing the voice of spring, waking it from slumber. Grow, little seed, grow!
Yes I feel like a seed in spring, growing. I love your interpretation.
You have articulated the awakening of spring, with such eloquence, here. I think you’ve caught that feeling of ‘stirring’ – you and the world around you – so wonderfully. A lovely piece of writing and artwork.
Wendy thank you. I was hoping to intertwine both our awakenings in the poem and I am glad it came through that way. .
The earth awakening.. nice image!
It is amazing to witness that awakening . Happy you enjoyed it.
greeting the sunrise
On this first spring day!
Such a relief that spring has finally arrived.
Hank
Yes it is but winter must relent. Sadly he came back with a vengeance and we are buried with snow.
I love your heart to embrace the why of your being…..to live with purpose and not draw back
from who you really are and why you’re really here. To declare it and know it deep why you breathe
in and out. Thank you for inspiring me to remember. This is beautiful, as are you:)
-Jennifer
To hear you say this makes my heart sing as I work hard to stay connected to my core and purpose….you have inspired me to find that core and remember the beauty in the world my dear Jennifer…thank you for that!
How beautiful and inspirational your words Donna – I shall burst (with relish) into Spring.
Anna :o]
I will think of us as we witness the renewal of nature’s growing time!
This just made me feel marvelous!
Oh thank you my friend!
