Spring In Boston
spring crocus Boston

The days that used to lie
curled up,
numbed
by penetrating frost,
bit by bit
stretch out
their limbs
now that winter's past.
~ Sri Dharanidhara
from Vidyadhara's Subhaashita Ratnakosha
Translated from the Sanskrit by Daniel HH Ingalls, Harvard University Press

A couple more!

Thank! How beautifully the sage captured the words.
Wish I had access to the original sanskrit!

THanks
