Waking of Spring
Cobalt blue skies, ivory-white clouds,
Sun blazing through lace-covered windows,
But all this belies the truth of the day
As winter chills still have their way
Causing icicles to slide across pilgrim ways;
Do you watch from your room
As folk stroll in the gloom
Or steadily balance upon icy bloom,
While winter laughs in the face of living
Stating the cold is freely given,
And heat is a figment that is forgotten
Before the thaw begins,
Cobalt blue skies begin to smile,
And ivory-white clouds run for miles
Carrying the rain that waters the field
And sees every river and stream thrilled,
Then overflow with joy,
As winter invites spring to rain on the folk below,
Laughing as the spring winds up to release
Coils of wonder as seeds pop asunder,
And these cobalt blues and ivory whites
Become status symbols
Of natures march across the land;
Clap your hands, sing praise and rejoice,
As we rise from winter hibernation
To see these spring-filled days arrive
Welcoming Cobalt Days and Ivory ways
From Creator's hands as gifts for the land,
And mankind, let us rejoice.
