Robin bobbing 'bout my yard
Spring can't be too very far
Yet on the calendar page I find
It's February. Love's on our minds.
As for me, I'll sit outside
and love what is in Wintertime.
Seeming barren and dull to some
I find magic thanks to Sun.
For even on a cloudy day
Sun's evidence comes my way.
As plants poke their heads above
from dark below green shoots come.
Lenten rose tucked near the ground
easy to miss in leaves of brown.
Round and tender are the buds
Yet resilient just like Love.
By taking notice, sitting still
Listening, opening I am filled.
Held by trees and Nature's kind
I receive Earth's Valentine.
