The Arrival
Too many days when the chill
is too much to bear
gray clouds fill the sky
sidewalks are snow-covered
much of life has succumbed to gloom
A tiny crocus pushes its little
yellow head through the snow
creates an unexpected light
a smile in the midst of sadness
a prelude to coming Spring
Lion and lamb reconcile
chrysalis morphs into butterfly
despair into rhapsody of joy
and hope and in an instant
darkness becomes light
The dreary world is a symphony
of red, white, gold and green
as what seems overnight
trees and flowers birth new life
in a blaze of color and fragrance
Bears bats chipmunks squirrels
come out of winter hideaways
to find mates and proceed
as Mother Nature has directed
Love is everywhere
Spring has arrived!
