Spring Returns Or

Plains and mountains and poetic refrains
Mark the emergence from ages so dark
Pains ease with the erasure of blood stains
Stark in crimson where once rested a park
Rains return the flowers to dormant lanes
Lark and Robin and the sounds of a bark
Are welcome signs of a Spring without war
Far from thoughts of my ashes in a jar
