 The Warmth Of Spring
I woke up just
this morning,
To start a brand
new day,
I ask for lots of
sunshine
To roll the
clouds away.
I asked for all
the sights and smells,
Of spring upon
the air..
To chase away the
remnants
Of winters’
lurking there.
Imagine my
delight when
I stepped outside
my door,
And sunshine
smiled at me then..
And winter was no
more.
I felt a soft
warm breeze,
That briefly
touched my cheek..
Heard the sound
of song birds trill,
Saw deer along
the creek.
The sights and
smells of springtime
Hung heavy on the
air..
Cavorting
essence, each one new
That teased my
nostrils’ flare.
So that my heart
was filled once more
Near bursting
with spring’s song..
Freed once again
from winters’ grip,
Held prisoner,
far too long.
Like a bird
loosed from its’ cage..
Allowed now to
soar free,
It only takes the
warmth of spring..
To unleash joy in
me.
