The Influence of March
Breaking winds came across the docks
March has invaded
Below a sky of pale blue mildly faded
Floating around in one spot as thou they had to yield
Ships of beauty wrapped in white jackets
They rest like packages waiting to be unwrapped
Wore paint on cutting cold rails
No duologue, no chatter
Just a sublet hint of spring
A handful of scarce seekers popping out to peak
Anticipating the fondness the summer brings
And soon enough there will be a multitude of bodies
Scrambling up and down the streets
Places to go, people to meet
Soon there will be sails to cut loose
Sun scorched backs and inviting aromas of the sea
But for now stillness envelops the harbor
A reminder to embrace patience
As I peered out the window of time
