SPRING AGAIN
Summer sleeps through the haze of my memories
Whilst decaying autumn thoughts bring winter to mind.
Sometimes, I awake to an unaccustomed
Stillness. Snow has failed to break my slumbers,
And the world sleeps
with me. With the thaw,
The besmirched snow recedes and reveals.
The time of repose has passed.
We gather our forces,
To till the earth and plant.
Come the new life, our hopes
Lend a revitalised
Vigour to all we do.
All around us
New life begins
Thoughts are of
What we are to do,
Not, what we have done.
Senses alert, we watch and listen
To this burgeoning life.
The birds convey our trust
Through joyous song.
The renewed green of hedge
And wood, commit
To the cycle
That must go on.
