Deva De Silva - * A RESCUE

The stonewall and the brook
A disfigured snow mound
Reborn in my thoughts!

Moss covered rocky beds
Garland the silent stream
A black stroke of an artist’s brush!

A sparrow shrugs off snowflakes
Perched on its basin
Of a snow cone birdbath!

Daffodil and tulip bulbs
Yearning to shoot their leaf buds
Await the winter’s passing!

Trees, bushes, and all life forms
Erased by snow whitening
Sunrays to the rescue!

Deva De Silva
