"Lengthen"
Greg Budig 2022
The days slowly lengthen.
Unannounced and unnoticed.
But the bullfrogs and
The garter snakes know.
Field mice waiting in
Underground dens and
Inside the garage
Are aware.
Majestic maples and
Weathered twisted oaks can
Feel their sap begin
To move.
Shadows begin stretching across
The ice crusted snow fields.
Days keep getting longer.
The earth shifts on its axis.
The days slowly lengthen.
