But, Spring

Warmth. Sunlight.

Breeze blowing gently

Through the veil

Delicate curtain. Soft,

My heart skips a beat.

Spring today,

Flowers blossom

Beautiful buds

Full of life.

French music echoes through

The courtyard,  yellow brick

White trim. Green grass

Finally exposed

From months of snow cover.

What a blessed event.

Shorts. Legs exposed

To much-needed sun,

Shy legs

Pale but not ashamed, Smiles

People have more purpose,

More pep. Never again,

Till next year of course.

Winter has a way of

Lingering, in the heart.

But spring.

Soaring,

Bright,

Hopeful,

Exuberant,

Spring.
