THE YEAR THEY CAME Shea Castleman Weeks and weeks of preparation Have all come to this day, the day they came. Away from the predators, Away from bad weather. The family forms like a cloud, uncertain at first But later joined together, Ready to take on the world Ready to pass the generation onto the next All of the uncertainty vanished.
Their first Spring; The birds are chippering, Welcoming the cubs into the beauty of Spring. The smell of the green grass, inhabited by little drops of mildew and the creatures of the earth. To see the colors of the rainbow, splashed across the earth like splatter paint. To feel the exciting complexity of new life. To taste the freshly bloomed fruit’s sweetness that explodes in your mouth. To hear the morning birds, waking up the world with their music.
