A Time For Awakenings

A time for awakenings And stirrings Spring cleaning Of the internal kind New resolutions for days When the sun shines upon us Getting rid of the cobwebs Away with hibernating tendencies Go play outdoors Take in some sun Breathe in outdoor air Dust the bikes Go for strolls Plan mini excursions Line up some adventures Get ready get set go Remember the meaning of the word play Chase butterflies Watch birds build nests Explore Watch the buds come out Then suddenly explode Watch the colour green Take over the world Stress giving way to smiles As people remember why They hold on to boring jobs Sun’s up early and sets later Longer days more time for fun Longer weekends by default Me time is no longer in the dark Life is worth living To the fullest Spring is a revival Rejuvenation Joy at our fingertips AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on August 7, 2018 for contest ANY JULY 2018 POEM sponsored by DEAR HEART AKA BROKEN WINGS - RANKED 3RD Originally posted on July 24, 2018
