Everything is ready <br />As I take the morning air <br />Everything is in front of me <br />As Spring begins it’s repair <br />Every shimmy in the hedgerow <br />Denotes an impatient life <br />Knowing so much is to happen soon <br />Hearts brimming and hopes rife; <br />A cocktail of high and scattered songs <br />Gifted from this little commune <br />The wren’s flurry of happy notes <br />The blackbird’s rich and merry tune; <br />Were our breasts as bursting as theirs <br />Of such energy and joy <br />Were our steps as sure as theirs <br />Along their hidden branches coy; <br />Grant that their bold newness of life <br />Makes our lives more whole <br />And that their morning melody <br />Be planted in our souls<br /><br />Paul Gerard Reed<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-march-morning/
