Intoxication of Spring

Our senses are reawakened 
to the promise of spring 
with its carpet of rolling green 
hills dotted with the flowers of 
the new season;
winter is gone, taking its frosty 
entrouge of snow, carelessly cold 
temperatures and biting arctic winds. 

Earth thaws to the welcoming presence of 
spring who unravels her verdant magic 
by covering its unclothed ground with 
virgin meadows bathed by the rain 
and dried by the sun;
the presence of warmer days illuminates 
the romantic spirit by making hearts sing 
with more fervor, enticing souls for
the ritual mating dance.

Intoxicating all who witness the change,
spring mists the air with the scents of 
new earth which gives hope for  the living,
a renewal of birth, a recleansing 
and thawing of the mind;
opening doors that were closed for 
winter, allowing the resurgence to 
breath its spring air.
