what is the name
of the color that forms
on the tips of the trees
when spring is born
and birds begin to sing?
i often ask myself
what is the name
of the baby just born
and why can’t i remember
such a simple thing?
when spring begins
and flowers bloom
what is the name
of that special time
of the cusp of the moon?
a time of beginnings
and turning of leaves
the ground of being heaves
oh, what is the name
of the saint of the cosmos?
stars in the sky
with names i forget
call down to me now
that storms abate asking
what is your name?

Lovely, such a uplifting piece on the spring's eve!
I have been crazy business today so I have taken an older work and submitted it for this prompt. It was after my separation and the rebirth of writing poetry.

I particularly like the first verse - the colour of that fuzzy new growth on the tips of branches should have a name - it's so hard to describe.

First day of spring - arrives welcomed like a new birth, bringing forth hope ... those tiny shoots of spring seem to arrive "magically" ... all of a sudden in the midst of winter's nakedness ... but alas they were evolving preparing for their arrival ...
Here is my contribution:
