             winter
with it's fangs retracted
s l i t h e r s away.
see you next year!
spring is here
           gravid 
with infinite possibilities
mother earth aging
in reverse; clothed
 in her sunday best.

I shall make the most of
this glorious day!

             l i l a c s
         breath honey 
into my nostrils.
i hear early birds tweeting.
i see flowers blooming.
in the infancy of spring,
pollinating bees 
buzz with excitement
gleeful blades of grass 
sway in the breeze.

I shall make the most of
this glorious day!

with blessings of rain,
bare trees quench their thirst.
           starlings
against the lapis lazuli sky
dazzle me so.
a shy sun peeks out,
brightly beaming
down my head as I walk, 
frequently whistling
beneath waltzing clouds.

I shall make the most of 
of this glorious day!
