A Song For Spring


With sounds of laughter in the breeze     
a year unfolds, each crease by crease
The trees remember every word   
that comes from winter's slumber, stirred    
     
The air has held a pregnant pause
while waiting for the sign of thaw
Alas! Today the change begins,
An overture within the wind,
ushered in by voices, small
of a redwing's flute, we might recall 

There is whimsy in the morning's song
that springs alive with joy and awe
The hills resound of symphonies
now sifted through each living thing
Each blade of grass, each velvet bloom
resumes a faith that all is well

Blue skis washed clean, with brilliancy
and sun arrives with birds on wing
At last earth wakes from hibernation
to glorify her re-creation

In her overture, announcing spring
earth blesses each and everything
