spring

spring, where have you gone?

your warmth blessed us for such a short time

is this cold the last gasp of winter

not wishing to release this land

yea though it is rain that falls

the cold of the air seeps to the bone

spring, what happened

did the moment of your arrival slip in early

allowing for us to fall to a false sense of joy

how do we deal with this cold that drives us back

back to sweaters, coats and woodburnng fires

we look to the outside seeking sunlight

air warmed so that we may wander and play without shivering

I sit here, staring out at the misting rain

wondering of my flower's fate

will they tolerate this drastic drop into cold

or with this cause them to wither and fade away

spring, return, come back to us

bring the warmth, bring the comfort of the sun

so that I may fling windows open wide

hear the call and song of the birds

spring, return to us

that I may wander along the pathways

ever watchful for spider and snake

happy at the freedom offered here, in this place

as long, yes as long

as your warmth wraps around me like the best of cloaks

warms me, with the radiant heat of the sun

where I bask in the light

as I wander without purpose or forced direction

spring, return to us- stay with us

for this is your season

this is your time

push away winter's harsh unfeeling cold

push away the grey of winter

dress in the finest of color

smile with the warmest of glow

push away winter, return to us, stay with us

for your season is here

we have missed you

we welcome you

come spring, come
