Primavera

 hola, all you pretty flowers and verdant grasses

i've awaited your renaissance after a long prior

troublesome year that has brought much angst,

much sorrow with many many 'lagrimas'

let me open the windows of my abode to

seduce your wonderous cielo azul, the still

cool but warm breezes to blow in and listen

to the glee of birds and critters at play

there's a joy you bring that makes 'mi corazon'

flutter and i see smiles on faces passing by

strollers with newborns being pushed along,

little children skipping, mothers and dads joy

and as i consume the days' beginning whilst

the suns' sprawled rays pierce between limbs

of trees now sprinkled with new buds and white

cottons have replaced the greys, cast shadows

whilst, my heart and spirit has longed for your

arrival, so too i'm sure, all other life here on this

floating blue rock in our piece of the universe

is welcoming your gentle touch of Spring
