The Call of Spring, is my response to the sence that life is getting ready to burst forth. I have a large garden and this time of year I always have to hold myself back as I get drawn into the drive that seems to come from the ether, to put seeds in, to turn the soil, to ready the plot and then suddenly over night life and spring bursts forth ending the sleep of winter.Printed on Japanese Rice paper, with Cranfield inks.
The Call of the Spring
The call is quiet
Like a far off hunting horn
That causes a tensing
That moment before all life
Springs out
Racing time
Racing light
Racing the shortening night
We all feel it
Raise our heads
Like prey scenting the shifting wind
Getting ready to grow
As the start of the year begins
Call Of Spring
