Spring
Spring
As Dark-Eyed Junco birds head north I know,
you’re not far behind with warmer weather in tow.
With an experienced artist’s colorful brush,
you skillfully paint away winter’s gray slush.
Bringing sweet sunshine and cleansing rain,
ravaged Earth you renew with rainbows again.
Crocuses yellow and white are brightly blooming,
oh my goodness, you are absolutely amazing!
Even the rhythmic tap, tap, tap of woodpeckers
tell me you are here – what mesmeric music to my ears.
Wrens return building nests and spreading their wings,
flying high in your blue skies as they joyously sing.
Coming alive at the wave of your magical wand,
my elated heart soars and I feel superbly grand.
I love your cool breath so fresh and tender,
and light butterfly kisses that you gently render.
But my dearest Spring, as much as I enjoy being with you,
I have a jealous lover, Summer - so this has to be adieu.
