Bring On Spring

I am cold to my bones The winter this year unsettled me Freezing snow went on too long Aging stiff thoughts Overpowered my normal optimism I dream of buds bursting with life I dream of swallows making their journey I anticipate the energy of spring These thoughts warm me.

The harshness of winter can make people feel very dreary, Liz. Spring and fall are the best times of the year. Here in Florida it's the summers that seem endless. Your point is well taken in this well composed poem. Love, Carolyn
