Upon approaching advent of an early spring 2024

Upon approaching advent of an early spring 2024
(alternately titled  GENESIS RESPLENDENT)

No matter the calendrical/official onset of vernal equinox takes places Tuesday, Mar 19, 2024 and transpires until Thursday, Jun 20, 2024, an intimation sensed (predicated on above average temperatures for February 21st, 2024) that season of blooming plants will override any assertion of Old Man Winter.

The ideal, general, ethereal ability of corporeal (once arboreal) beings to adduce, contemplate and exhaust gray inner knobby matter oft times finds this clothed apish chap entertaining gamesome insight. How did this, that or another thought spring forth per mine consciousness? This conjecture might be a shrunken modus operandi how life began, which query mankind scrunched brow throughout Homo Sapiens history did contemplate. Origin of life ascribed to the big bang, but then the question begged what preceded that cosmic event, which question came crashing into inquisitive mind of yours truly (me) after reading  a book titled Angels and Demons by Dan Brown; He also wrote the Da Vinci Code, and The Lost Symbol among other book titles.

This veritable stranger sends 
what he hopes you consider to be 
a most pleasant unexpected note
to thee unknown reader
allowing further discourse 
(communication) a boot...
footwear ourselves, and 
maybe fledgling acquaintanceship
will positively resonate akin to a magic flute,
whereby digital life jackets 
donned in virtual trumped up petsmart boat
perhaps if weather inclement, 

an additional slick trojan raincoat
doned to help stay dry 
until destination reached
perhaps landing upon a north Carolina island 
resembling this hill Billy goat 
(christened Beverly),
whence springs germ of sum re: idea
takes root exhibiting 
potential valance lives strong
when juiced sta stp away 
from ma cheaply tricked
supertramp violating 
tender tinder and tumblr 
ova vulnerable shoot.

To search for source that gives rise
enabling homo sapiens to think
this ace of spades heart felt, 
(albeit diamond in the rough poet) 
digs shallow sometimes 
force fool lee with light club 
to emulate spelunker easing 
into bosom of Gaia,
or shine laser focus into chasm 
teetering on the brink
hunting down gamesome 

elusive dodging idea sunkist, 
dogged catlike whimsy 
doth elusively, and we silly out pace
yet hi yam ready with 
whorled wide net to capture alive
agile rat scorpion fink unseen 
quiet as mouse notion 
gives this hardy laurel 
a divine run for his money 
quite a chase - bank king analogously 
viz monkey and weasel

scurrying thru microcosmic burrow 
of cerebral size manhattan 
skyscrapers at a blink quarry 
arising whim of mine
vanishes without a trace quick 
as mental cogs & wheels
generated riveting link, 
perch ants connected 
to previous pondering 
within cranial place, or appear 
as some random 
non-sequitur conscious kink 

distracting ability to latch onto 
awesome fleeting mind space
inducing minor frustration at lack of ability
dag nabbit (albeit painlessly) steely zinc
shimmering insight cognizant 
ability likened to ode Grecian urn vase frieze 
depicting close captcha 
thought process cold playing life
spans shorter than a wink 
via third eye of providence 
of this comfortably numb, 

yellow brick walled 
beatle browed face, 
whereat he espies verdant 
pastoral themes that billow and flow
across terra firma hallowed ground
sanctimonious from immaculate 
mother Earth conception
synchronized in a symphony with terrestrial
fauna and flora which life forms abound
via natural laboratory qua nature,
especially at seasonal dawn of spring tide
where multitudinous existence can be found

carving out a figurative zoological niche
in a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds galore
idyllic melodic musical sounds
artist palette of rainbow blended sights,
which twin manifestations 
of restorative and natural calm
assuage auditory and visual 
sense and sensibility pleasures respectively
serve as psychic balm against global threat
of life, liberty and happiness triage psalm
rampant in the form 

of diabolical deliberate deeds
bred in the soil of deep rooted hatred
kudzu resistance asphyxiates human camaraderie
democratic state attacked with no qualm
malicious and terroristic plot methodical map
blueprint leaves catastrophic trail of red
dire dystopian prognostications 
constitute doomsday scenario
no rocket surgeon 
nor brain scientist mentality requisite
grave misfortune writ large for all life!
