A new day a new haiku

Afraid to contend In the moonlight I transcend This is not the end
The snow has melted Dropping from bending branches To the forest floor
How do the snowdrops Know that the days are longer And spring is coming?
Don’t see things for what They can do for you. Seek out Their place in the world
Creeping underneath The shiny sea of snow drops Daring seedlings spring
From leaves of last year Again the snowdrops appear Spring is drawing near
All we really want Is to find a connection It’s easy to say
The first signs of spring Recall from memories depths All that winter stole
With each step I slide Every weed I pull divides Running to stand still
From snow fall rises New life, hardy and fearless Could I be so brave?
And now snowdrops spring Around every new corner Another surprise
As the first signs spring They break the cold winter earth Dreams break hearts in two
