Restrictions: None
when spring blooms
when the year is almost spent
her winter fingers fail,
then west wind is quickly sent
and takes her hand, his one intent
to dance and warm her so the scent
of spring will soon prevail.

they dance, unseen, a simple form,
but each step gives her strength.
and as they move the wind breathes warm
the north wind calms his last great storm
and colors burgeon, now reborn
they peek from melting banks.

the snow recedes, green grasses shine
the trees restore their green.
her steps make myriad seeds align
and follow, leaf and bloom and vine
their blossoming by her design
a renaissance all see.

and songbirds carry out the tune
she echoes through the earth.
I follow ‘neath the vernal moon,
and through the sunlit April noons,
I smell her, now, as springtime blooms,
and hope for my rebirth.
