Spring!

Ode to Spring
Owe spring you robbed me four times!
With only glimpses of you in my travels
To see the trees in this cold place
To feel their inner strength as I walk past
There is life in there!
It is waiting to burst out and love for a life
Like the sponges that expand 600 times their size
You pack the leaves and, ever growing, you await
Await those brilliant stark spring days when the world is saying to wake
You wait for those natural signs
It’s natural
Oh do not leave me again spring!
