I Sat Among the Spring

I sat among the Spring today
Cool and crisp - electric
My crisscross view delighting
In Nature's tweedy blanket.

For dutch irises and daffodils
Have taken their final bow
And stepped offstage to grant
Spotlight to new arrivals.

Wild flowers have cast aside
Their modest robes to sparkle
In nature's brilliant lights
Their dewy heads glistening

I never really cared for green
That is, until I felt
The many varied shades
That Springtime casts about.

I sat among the Spring today
And let the Spirit rise
And knew the thrill of Joy's rebirth
Of Hope refilled anew.
