Spring In the Air

Spring Is In The Air

Seasons changed as revolutions circled in the wider scheme
of matter with great things to come and wonders gone past

Summer in unforgettable rays of foam covered ocean spells on
dune’s treat feat and retreat from memories folded in anticipation

Rusty golden leafed pages when the wind gathered strokes as she
tickles autumn draped logs of amber fires unlocking the years

Icicles in frosty notions of bright color panes when the future
melted in a moment dispersed snow falling glitter in passionate vow

When April tide weathered their playground Avril and Ewan toiled in the
garden jumped up and down on the old mattress in unperturbed grass

A tyre roped from gnarled faithful apple tree branches swung to and fro 
caressing the precious freight the giggles squeaks and the laughter

The horse hair filled canvas gave way as the children grew older when
new adventures changed the pulse mitre and rhyme of their seasons

Yet children at heart they still leaped jumped frills frolicked in fever and
yearning as life changed in challenge and dangers sweet smelling scent

The mattress had been their friend for many a year now yet innocence
faded as right at the centre piercing the fabric a spring was up in the air
