Awakening Spring (Double Acrostic and End Line Word)

Around the corner, the sun will show its new face after                               A
Well earned time of having endured through the cold of                              Winter.
Anticipation is felt as nature burgeons and animals wake                            Anew
Keenly sensing the coming of spring with all its love felt in its                      Kaleidoscopic
Emergence of colors everywhere and its fragrances brought by the             Elements.
Nature at its youth, feeling the excitement throughout, that we all                Naturally
Instinctively experience rebirth within the fiber of our hearts; yet still          Intimidated,
Not having yet forgotten the frozen breath of the dying icy season. But        Now
Gratitude moves into the soul from the lessons learned, and we thank         God.

Sweetly, we turn our eyes to the heavens above for the blessing of its          Smile
Pleasantly blowing to us in fragrant love with the breezes and the waters,      Preparing
Rebirth of nature, and the birds sing us their songs of love while                   rigorously
Investing their all in the building of their nest for their offspring,  so              impatient,
Nagging at times to their loved ones, then making it all a fun game to play.   Nature
Gathering their families and I remember my parents for whom I thank          God.

What a well thought out poem. I find acrostic hard enough without trying something like this. Great job. Should do well in the end line contest. I am assuming you will enter it....thanks for your encouragement today..cheers Margaret

I couldn't change "things" because when I talk about things I mean them in the sense of things as they exist. i.e. concrete objects as they exist in reality. I'm saying essentially i walk around at the edge of reality or "things". So "trails" would not work in this instance. Unless I were using a forest as a metaphor for reality. Which I'm not.
