Rite of Spring

Absent is the frigid cold Breath expelled now goes unseen Come are days of warmth and light Dawning of the longer days Ere the twinkling stars of night Forest green returns my sight Gone are drifts of wind blown snow Hardening has the Winter been Inspiring is the Sun again Juniper again in bloom Katydids begin their swoon Lambent is the setting Moon Meandering is the ice less stream Nature once again will sing Opulent is the scent of Spring Palpable is everything Quavering voices can be heard Revelations of the Birds Sanctified by warmer rain Telltale signs of Summer Unborn flowers yet in bud Versed is Mother Nature Wakeful is Her duty keep Xenophobic wildlife roam Yonder, never far from home Zealous is the Rite of Spring 02/16/15
