spring water
roiling over under

awakens anchored
eddied dreams,
coldblooded slithering
stirring some
ancient smiling
reptiles rooted within
warmed by sun
awash with hope

This day came in sunny and bright. It's hard to imagine that the unpleasant forecast of freezing rain and snow this evening is possible.
