Sprung

I step outside the house this morning And notice a change that's come without warning Yesterday the air I breathed was bitter So much so that it made me chitter Today there seems to be a hint Of the warmth coming after winter's stint The atmosphere seems different too; The sky, a slightly brighter blue There's also a scent that I remember Disappeared completely around last September It seems to be returning now And is that a shoot on that high bough? I, myself, feel different as well There's a certain optimism casting it's spell Over my usual gloomy bent Changing my mood to one of content Looking around at the once bare earth I see the signs of brand new birth I smile at the world, it's new life still young It seems, that finally, Spring has sprung
