Spring Forward

And in the morning, there was anew

Winter melted, spouts hid under dew

Better than Christmas day, life now

Returns. To the trees to the ground, how?

After all this time, cold-dormant-dead

The brightest of blooms, lime green overhead

How magnificent, the various shades

The best part is, she finds more each day

Her heart, it flutters, there’s a smile too

Especially on cloudy days, but even if blue

Feeling light and alive, soaking in the sun

It's only inevitable, the coming days of fun

The darkness at bay, if only a moment

Its enough to hold on to, a gift, atonement

Hold on to, she does, but with a loose grip

For only He knows best, God steers the ship

Springing forward in hope, in love, with grace

Elated this season, in nature’s happy place

Surrounded by growth, vibrance, and hope

She runs and jumps, swinging over life by a rope

For the rush, for the thrill, craving the fire

The one that burns deep, ignited by desire

That passion lives in her, no matter the season

But spring is like New Years with rhyme & reason

Rebirth observed above and below

Shes born again too, fire starts to glow

This time without expectations or plans

This time a soft grip, better yet - open hands
