Spring's Dance

After the rigors of winter,
Buried by mountains of snow,
Counting the days until springtime,
Delighted to see winter go.
Emerging flowers entrance me,
Fields of daffodils brighten my day,
Gladly, I listen to bird song,
Happy to feel the sun's ray.

I welcome each sign of the springtime,
Just reacting with joy to its spell.
Kittens and puppies appearing,
Lambs, foals and new calves as well.
More birds are coming and staying.
Nests cover the branches of trees.
Odors, mysterious, surround me,
Perfuming the mild springtime breeze.

Quivers of arrows from Cupid
Reach all the young lovers in spring.
Spurring the heart of the young swain
To happily buying a ring.
Utmost beauty surrounds me,
Views through my window entrance.
Winter is now just a memory,
Xray vision unveils the spring dance. 

Yearnings unnamed are the thing.
Zealously, I embrace the new spring.
