Tis Spring <br /> <br />A brisk wind blows through dried oak leaves <br />Chinaberries wave gently in the breeze <br />American Pines caress the sky <br />And mother nature breathes a sigh. <br /> <br />Songbirds cheerfully greet the day <br />Not caring of the yesterdays <br />Singing melodies upon the wind <br />Strike up the band, it's time again. <br /> <br />Waiting for flowers to bloom, it's spring <br />Then listen as the chickadees sing <br />Bid the winter adieu, farewell <br />For only the strong, survive, prevail. <br /> <br />Winds that blow and pass us by <br />Extends to birds the gift to fly <br />Sound waves of unforgotten songs <br />Bring new loves together in throngs <br /> <br />A fragrant whiff of yesterday <br />Reminds him that she passed this way <br />He braces against the shivering breeze <br />That murmur through bygone autumn leaves… <br /> <br />He waits for the warmth he knows will come at last <br />Remembering all those winters past <br />Tis Spring! , Thank God, winters gone <br />He can almost smell that new mown lawn <br /> <br />Jim 2012<br /><br />James Casey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tis-spring-2/
