Spring

Spring arrest my soul.
Confine my fantasy to reality.
Imprison my frivolous nature.
Fill my joy with thy beauty.

Singing chirps flutter the treetops. 
Critter-chatter wafts upon the breeze.
Life surges; colors emerge…laughing. 
Cold returns for a day…teasing.

Hens sit upon their clutch.
Roosters banter in the barnyard.
Suckling young thrive in warmth.
Newness arrives…pleasing.

Delight me with delicious scents.
Invigorate my longing senses.
Warm my waiting spirit.
Welcoming a renewed earth.
