Breath of Spring

I step onto the path with burdens weighed. A chill wind at my back, the skies are lead. Because this is the day the Lord has made, I look about to learn what He has said. The blooms of humble weeds show off their lace, as harsh wind turns to gentle fragrant breeze. The sun breaks through the clouds and warms my face. Once naked trees are green with budding leaves. From Winter’s grip the world is breaking free and soon will be aflutter and abuzz. A joy begins to bubble within me to see the tender grass where snow just was. My burden lighter now, I start to sing, and trust the God who orchestrates the spring. March 12, 2021 Contest: Breath of Spring Sponsor: Regina McIntosh
