there is something

there is something

about the sudden warmth of spring

that makes me ache

to be barefoot in new grass

 

the urge of water splashing

over quiet rocks

is an invitation

I can't resist

 

it was only a split second

thought

but you knew

that I would do it

We have so much snow here, in the mountains, that I don't know when the spring runoff will warm and slow enough for me to be able to soak my feat, but you have me wanting to test the waters. It hit in the seventies today, and the local news is talking about flooding...And all I can think of is how nice the warmth feels...And flowers, we had six inches of snow last week, and flowers poking up this week. I hope mother nature is trying to tell us something...

Great Write Emily!

I go out of my way to walk barefoot on Zoysia grass. The thick mat feels wonderful on my bare soles. You capture well the carefree feeling of spring. Kudos!

An almost casted affair of emotion ad turmoil, a loving hand never breaks away as they say, well written, good prose.

if you can't run through new grass, then what is the point? this makes me think of the cover of your book. i have always wondered if those were your feet standing on the rocks.

oh yes to feel the grass anew barefoot...simple sensations of spring...love the image of water splashing over quiet rocks...this uplifts and inspires...as does spring...wonderful...

That leap of faith. A bit overwhelming but almost always rewarding. Glad, am I.
