Notes About The Poem

Out On the Portico

Gray clouds banked moisture filled now wait
A warm lustrous sun rips
Flashing beams illuminate earth
Wants to curtail frost's nip

Fog curtains spring's green 'pon the trees
The distance just a blur
Birds excitedly sing love's tunes
Nesting secrets occur

Take a deep breath now be renewed 
Springtime a joy divine
If only it could be spring each day
Not summer's hot design

Spring in it perfection touches hearts
Reaches the soul each time
It brings out the best of nature
All of joy in mankind

What if it were this very day
When Jesus' shouts come forth
The earth releasing its saved dead
Those living saved by His worth

Gathered in heavenly places
Face to face meet God's Son
Will it be in this springtime's joy
Will you be one of the ones

"When Jesus' shouts come forth" I imagine it would be a revitalizing spring day as you described. How beautiful!

It is said He will come with clouds before His reign. Why not come on a day that is beautiful as the picture you paint? A nice piece of spiritual reflection, where we get to snatch a peak at your inner joy.
