Spring Aspirations

Spring Aspirations


With your magic wand you turn the dreary winter
into a verdant season spreading scintillating scent
over hill, dale, valley, meadow and mighty forest.


You sprawl on the cherry tree on the sidewalk enchanting
the passers-by with your pale pink blush and an infectious smile.

Your soothing touch turns the sky into a canopy of white and blue
hiding a soft sun that grants the world the bliss of gentle warmth.
As you skip on nimble feet, the green grass thrills at your sweet delight,
the bird flies high, the hare races wild through dancing tulips, hyacinths,
crocuses, roses and forget-me-nots dotting the land in pretty hues.


Come unto us Spring! Sing of renewal of aspirations.
Ring in joy and youthful enthusiasm into our lives.
Let your voice be heard from the tops of emerald hills,
“Come out of dumps of disgusting depression , shed
your innate inertia and act with purposeful dynamism.
Bury the useless past, build anew, take a different path.”


Instill the idea, future waits for the fearless to open doors
to new thinking, seeking novel horizons.


Dear Spring! Inspire us to live like you, to laugh like you
with a fresh leash of energy, eagerness and enthusiasm.
