The golden locks
of Mother Natures canal
opened it’s headwaters.
Bringing forth…
a wellspring of life.
Followed by…
the nourishment of sunshine,
so deeply needed
to feed the valley below.
The dark days of winter
crept back into caverns
and patiently waited
in the catacombs of time.

Your graphic is perfect for the elements, each one a glorious color - gold sunshine for fire, headwaters/wellspring of life, fed through the air to earth.
"The dark days of winter
crept back into caverns
and patiently waited
in the catacombs of time." what a wonderful metaphor and image this is, winter hybernating until spring, like the grizzily bear
cannal = canal
A very beautiful pen, well done poet! thank you for joining me on my path of illumination, best wishes!
many blessings, Sandi

I really like this poem. It's deep and thoughtful. It really flows with the picture and brings out the "nature" of the poem. Thank you so much entering the contest with this wonderful poem. Best of luck to you. Kahy

Hey! I have this picture on a postcard that I spent a pretty penny for. Had I known this was coming I would have saved and just snagged it LOL. "the nourishment of sunshine" happy phrasing. I need up-building stuff today and in the coming months. Thanks

Beautiful. You are such a good poet. I love this.

You put such a image of two creatures encroaching one upon another. The warmth of a new spring day pushing the winter back into the soil. And, as always the words are perfectly suited. Good work.
