A Spring Awakening

Hark!

Instant, Fresh, and  new

Frightful to step close to you.

Air is lighter to breathe

Only new sights to see.

Green of  grass in the day

The games you suddenly want to play.

Pastels planted everywhere

Wondering if there are shorts to wear?

Sun is peeking through,

Ice Cream is the only scent to get to you.

Bunny shaped sugar hits the spot;

Maybe learn to tie a knot.

Luck and fortune claim it’s on the way;

So much color to save rainy days.

Surprise pop-ups from our furry friends

Who is happy that winter is at its end.

New hopes, dreams, goals

Taking time to fuel our souls.

Thinking changes to moving,

All of the negativity we’ll be removing.

Cottontail daydreams,

So many rainbows in high beams.

So much cuteness 

You could scream.

Heat is coming to the scene

How can it be this serene?

Finding out what life will bring,

That must be the magic of spring.

Everything is so in between,

Making us realize we need more caffeine.

Summer comes by just to sail,

Grateful for this time to exhale.

Thanks to the bunnies,

Thanks to the puppies,

Thanks to the cheers,

Thanks to the beers,

Most of all, spring, I’m glad you’re here!

Now I bid you all adieu.

For it is the future to look forward to.
