Spring

 

Lifeless, it seems

The Earth around you is changing

The start of a new season lingers afresh the air

Rain descends, light and soft at first

But the thirsting Earth summons

The downpour is harder, faster

It digs into the ground

Dislodging tiny creatures from footpaths

Destroying everything in its needless wrath

The long crooked arm swings

Back and forth, swaying with the briny air

Green pointed fingers glistening

Like diamonds under its immortal counterpart

The moon is the everlasting hope

To those who fear the darkness

Its silvery beams, light the way for Mothers

As they watch over their children

All through the night

And when the storm comes to pass

The leaves glisten with morning due

Crunching beneath the tiny pattering of feet

Those who have slumbered, awake

To find everything anew

It's in the air, the ground, the skies:

Spring is definately here
