The Promise of Spring

First a hint, then a sigh.  

Then finally...

Warm breezes softly caressing your skin.

The light and warmth breathing energy into your soul

The sweet fresh scent dripping from glistening raindrops

The crisp clean green shoots reaching through the soil

The chartreuse haze of barely opened buds on the trees

The heady heavy scent of blossoms 

The chorus of songbirds readying their nests

Everything so fresh and alive

Wondrous and new

All being reborn

Including you

“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has
been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed
there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.”

 ― Henry David Thoreau
