The Other Side of Spring
Colorful hues
The smell of blossoms
fill the air in this season of
Beauty and new birth
Even as the touch of green velvet
shrouds everything coating surfaces
From car tops to deck rails
Filling the nostrils with cloying tendrils
That irritate and burn.
Sneezing, coughing red runny eyes
Prostrate us while we admire the bluest skies.
As we sniff the scent of tender new petals
We plead for relief from the scourge
of pollen that afflict sensitive beings.
Yet after the dead of winter..Spring brings joy to the heart
But as with all things in life, the good comes with the bad
Finding a balance is a challenging task.
But after life comes death …so hope always for the best
Expect the worst ...but take what comes
Knowing that rebirth follows closely on the heels of death.
