Best Spring In Your Step Poems
His icy grip comes loose at last.
His blanket cannot but recede,
Like tides that breached a floodgate, he
Her coming can no more impede.
She saunters in, a slow sashay
enrobed in freshly scented cape
that wakes the buds and songbird tune
as shades of shamrock swathe the scape.
It is no place for charcoal greys,
and barren boughs on colours feed
Like tides that breached a floodgate, he
Her coming can no more impede.
As much awaited zephyrs blow,
you sneeze out pollen, heartbeats pep
The season’s vibes can’t help but show..
A spring for the journal.. spring in your step.
Spring in your Step
There's a little more Spring in your step today
The sun sooner rising takes the cold away
Hands moved forward on the dial
More of a blossom in your smile
Daffodils popping with yellow say
Spring is here today's the day
Renewal once again begun
So go outside and join the fun
For those of you who still have snow
and the temp is zero or below
Have faith and soon you'll join right in
And Spring for you will soon begin
As waves in the ocean, reach high and low
Life will bring changes, as you come and go
But you must embrace both the good and bad
You must not go back to what you once had.
Tho you might be stuck in the here and now
You must gather your will to move on somehow
The path has been cleared, and troubles are gone
Once again healthy it’s time to move on.
As the sun rises, your strength rises too
The day lies ahead, bad days bid adieu
A spring in your step, a smile on your face
You may start out slow, but you will soon race.
As waves in the ocean move toward the shore
Peace lies at my feet, who could ask for more!
Some people enjoy traveling - so moving is a simple thing.
Others detest it greatly - and all the stress it does bring.
Most people don't stop to see - if moving was the right course to make.
Or by evaluating their options - a different path to take!
It was back in 1998 - when my marriage flew apart.
I was torn and broken - a huge hole inside my heart!
Having moved to many places - only one stands out to me.
There I found my true family, a purpose, and my Spirituality!
The people I moved in with - truly made the house a home.
From this new found family - I did not ever roam!
Who knew way back then - how much this would mean to me.
How peaceful and content - that I would really be!
Who knows what fate has in store - when we need to move.
Put a smile on your face, spring in your step, and get into the groove!
That one address change - has brought me boundless pleasure.
And the riches that I've gained - are truly beyond measure!
Nothing warms the cockles of the heart like a cheery, "Hello!"
'Twill put a spring in your step and set your face aglow!
'Tis nice to hear a southern lass say, "Hi, shuga, how y'all!"
Or be greeted with a lusty, "Howdy" by a Texan's drawl!
A sunny greeting is welcome no matter what the language.
It brightens your neighbor's day and kinship it will assuage.
In Japan from the south in Okinawa to the north in Misawa,
Folks bow low and say to one another, "Konnichiwa!"
In France, noted for its exquisite cuisine and chic haute couture,
Gentlemen doff their chapeaux and wish a cordial, "Bon jour!"
Jewish brethern acknowledge others with a calming, "Shalom!"
While Muslim folks will greet you with the traditional, "Salaam!"
The Aussies have a delightful way their greeting to convey.
They lighten everyone's day by simply saying to you, "G'day!"
Spanish folks say, "Bueno dias!" to folks they happen to greet.
Germans hail others with, "Guten Tag!" strolling along the street!
Alas, the babble of languages may not be quite understood,
But just one small gesture might help to foster brotherhood!
If we'd take time to greet each other and flash a friendly smile,
'Twould surely make someone's day and life seem more worthwhile!

The trees are engaged this year,
fig to myrtle, myrtle to pine, pine
to palm, feeling each other up
in seasonal delirium. Each speaks
a different dialect, yet borders
are open, no passport is needed. Wind,
their license for intercourse, speeds
up the vows--Yes Dear, I Do,
I do, and anyhow we're rooted here
among hibiscus flower girls and
azalea groomsmen before April dazzle
gives way to spurious summer.
Cling, Cling, sing the wind chimes.
Mendelssohn it's not, but there's pep
enough to put spring in your step
Disgust and contempt.
Wrath and loathing.
Conflict seems our fate.
I think I may call this hate.
Desperation for freedom.
Stress without relief.
Shake to the point of tears.
I think I may call this fear.
Smiles and hugs.
Joy at your thought.
You were sent from above.
I think I may call this love.
Bright and bubbly.
Spring in your step.
Don't care about the ugliness.
I think I may call this happiness.
If eager finch in flocks through hedges sow,
they burn with crimson blaze on country lanes;
yet look like flaxen ropes that twisting, flow.
This could be me when summer sings refrains.
If darkened lakes with troubled waves reflect
a dying forest's fractured tree that shakes,
then time is stretched and taut with tether flecked.
It could be me as late october breaks.
If swallows ghost in autumn's growing shade
and scissor night with scarlet skies that flee;
they welcome darkling eves as stars invade,
where shadows slowly dance, it might be me,
but earth's just-spring then feeds the winter’s fast,
exploding green reveals my core at last.
When nothing brings you down
You have a spring in your step
A sappy smile on your face
No one else matters, only him
Thoughts of being alone
No longer bother you
Broken heart is mended
The void filled up
Great pain and sorrow
Replaced with a great love
Feelings of self-doubt
Replaced with a love so warm
Found a love so great
In a special man
Has given me hope
Joy and peace
This ‘mourning’ was the first summer’s day,
The sun awoken - awakened, but unlike yesterday it’s weakened,
Its glow usually vivid but now it flickers and mercifully fades.
Albeit the season whereby the sun rises and ever lasts, even in late evening whereby the sun’s shadow is always cast. Today is summer, but today is very different to those of summers past.
Unable to wake, unable to rise - not a cloud to be seen, just a vacant sky. There will be no more autumns, nor a spring in your step - and you have experienced your last winter of discontent, season of regret.
The light of your sun radiates here on earth no more, but lest we not forget, the sun is one of many stars, so albeit one now rests in darkness, one rests amongst many stars.
The sensation is so passion filled
her ways are honest as she is strong willed
that spring in your step as you glide
that wonderful emotion you love to ride
up on wings of love and down to earth frolicking
pent up happiness bursting you at the seems
and fun packed days all with love themes
the honesty of the talks
the commited and shared lives
the puts all in a good mood
amore there is no drug that works more wonders
"THE whole truth and nothing but the truth…”
Tom,
Music
Was your life.
You never saw
Me staring at you.
I had to make contact
Just to reveal my feelings.
Once I did the unthinkable.
Before classes had begun one morn,
I snuck into the boys’ room with a pen.
A heart I drew with our initials too,
And I thought you’d know it came from me.
I noticed the spring in your step
And hoped you would approach me.
Instead you walked to Chris
No! Same initials,
But the wrong girl
Got a date.
Your mate –
Wife.
T rumpet-playing, surfer boy
O pened his heart to the wrong woman
M usic of their love, emanates from their happy home

Falling in love starts out crazy, saturates your life, permeates your soul, and creates a new you.
It gloriously envelopes you which is terrific, when the object of your desire loves you too.
True love is capable of taking you over so completely that reason gives up trying to get through.
At first you cannot hear her any way, and when you do, you resent her, and shut her down.
In a few months your personal wants, needs, desires, and goals fall by the wayside, virtually disappear.
There is a glow about your face, and a spring in your step that you have never had before, and may never have again.
Your mind tries her best to alert you, but you are completely lost in the terrific feeling of being in love.
This is why some people switch out mates every six years or so, to experience this insane, “new” feeling.
The mind is not easy to squelch, but you can do it, if you want to, and you do.
You do not want to hear things that are practical, or futuristic. “Being in love” is totally in the now.
Your practical dendrites yell and scream and try to reach you in your dreams while you are dreaming of him or her.
You may be asleep, but you still get angry when the mind tries to boss you around.
The only thing that is important to you right now, the thing you live for, and breathe for is being in love.
Isn’t that just dandy? Yes, it certainly is, until it isn’t.
Written July 15, 2018
On that fateful night at ten
I saw you walking down the lane
Your hand was on her shoulder
And there was spring in your step
I stood on the terrace watching you go
Fear clutching at my heart
The reality of it all came on me
The hope within died a sudden death
I waited for the tears to come
I waited for the pain to begin
But the tears had frozen to ice
And the heart had turned to stone
Time went by
And life regained its normal course
Hard and cruel they called me
And a statue I became
Then on a cold winter morn
Came a gust of warm wind
The dark, kind and lively eyes
And the circle of soothing arms
My cheeks became wet
My heart went a pit-pat
I could smell the earth again
And hear the birds sing
But the harsh winter froze the warm wind
And the frost began to settle
Passerby looking at me would say
She is not dying…….. she is dead.
What’s up!
A little bit of me, I do hope so
What’s got in to you!
A little bit of me, I do hope so
What’s come over you!
A little bit of me, I do hope so
Hope I’m not pushing my luck
I know sometime I’m a little flop
But hopefully you’ll have be once again
After all you’re a true adult friend
Plus last time you seemed the best you’d ever been
For the first time since I’ve known you
Your body actually gleamed – I’m hot
You sizzled with such a glow
You warmed my heart, tip to toe
And on top of all that, for the first time ever
I saw your gorgeous green eyes sparkle / glow
What ever has changed in your life I do not know
But you’re looking the best you’ve ever been
New bed, plenty of rest
New diet, a spring in your step
New pills, added vitality
New guy, first date, lucky for you I do hope so
I don’t know, but what ever it is
There seemed a happy contentment, sheer bliss
Please can I come to see you once again
Fingers crossed the answers Yes!
