Dance of Spring

DANCE OF SPRING

Where deep mire marred our winter footpath ways
Now Spring brings transformation to these trails
As damp and cold no longer rule our days
The sun with caution gives us warm avails

Now islets firm attract discerning feet
With deft side steps eluding every snare
And pick through hazards, as in dance upbeat
With steps worthy of Kelly or Astair

As perils of the passing year are faced
And Spring brings hope of healing to our lives
May steps though cautious be with courage braced
Negotiate the plague where it yet strives

No more at nearness shall we look askance 
Together then may each one join the dance
