Promises Profound

See the tender shoots of grass
   poking up through the ground
See the buds take shape on trees
   on branches, promises profound

Feel the temperature rise a bit
   Pack Winter away. Tighten the lid on it...
Breathe deeply of Spring's embyonic perfume
   of purple crocus and rosy tulip's bloom

A tribute to my favorite season out of all of the seasons we are getting now - some on the same week in Kansas.
