Spring, Let Me Reclaim You

Dreaming of gaily-colored tulips
    red's majesty, iris purple
      sunburst yellow...

  Eyes grown heavy, curtains closing
    a smile dancing on dewy lips
      envisioning a soft April's morn...

  O, Spring, let me reclaim you
    if only for this moment
      if only in this dream

Elizabeth Mccann Date: 11/11/2022 12:59:00 PM Congratulations, Gershon! on the POTD, but also on the idea of reclaiming Spring. As I grow older, I become more like our ancient ancestors, uncertain if Spring will come again. Elizabeth Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/13/2022 12:21:00 PM The way things have changed in my lifetime, I wonder if the leaves will fall on top of the snow, or whether they'll be raked before the first snow comes. We'll see...
