Spring

Spring Ahhhhh As the frost leaves the ground I feel my mind begin to thaw Old emotions rise New possibilities The sun rises on previously dull eyes All things seem within my grasp Emerging thoughts sprout from the dried ground What seemed barren has been renewed Heart quickens Still affected Nose intoxicated I can taste the air Anticipation Invigoration Muscles ready to move I shake off the residue of a long cold winter Dark days no longer my concearn Time for dancing Singing Dreaming Time for sleeping has ended Remnants of youth flow through my veins I rise once again I am still part of spring An old tree with new leaves Standing proud Yet swayed Moved by the winds of change Ahhhhhh Spring In the fall of my life Yet you and I coexist

Thanks Harry, the thing about getting older is that I still feel young until I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror.

LOVELY! :) Spring is a beautiful time of the year...You are not in the fall of your life, Richard! You are in summer! :)

Perhaps the tail end Ha ha ha. I am okay with either, in fact fall is one of my favorite seasons and if I am lucky an Indian summer will be tossed in for good measure.
