The rain in early spring falls slowly
And the newly budding
Life smells soft and vibrant

Grass is still shorn short
From late autumn chopping

Glistening faerie-buds
Dancing on blade tips precarious
Puddle-lakes looming below

Bare branches stark and lifeless
Barely resist the urge to sprout

The air is crisp but alive
With new beginnings

The soft-sharp breeze brushes
Hope for approaching warm-wonderful
As drain pipes sing dirges of the
Old world washed away

Spring stretches its yawn across the world
With breast breath-full and fingers outstretched

Slowly opening


Alive
