Something About Spring

There is something hopeful about spring

The poets have always said

But it is only today

In which I believe them

A true turn to warmth and the new

Brilliant sun on playful faces

A renewed optimism that was lost in winter

Will be found in the new growth of spring

The change struck me so blatantly

I even allowed myself the moment

To tilt my head to the sun

And soak in the peace of spring
