On the Road to friends and high places: Part One Close knit friends

Yellow
So fellow travelers, this sudden burst of blooms on my forsythia bush released a wave of memories and feelings which wove themselves into a poem. A bush breaks free from Winter’s icy grip an explosion of yellow bursting with childhood memories Joy reclaimed.
