On this spring day
Just beneath the surface lies
A new life cycle
Warm breeze blows
Mixing winter and spring air
Till spring fully springs
First buds
Catch my eye
Offering hope
Flowers erupt from
Dormant bulbs beneath the earth
A riot of color
The lawn sprinkler
Oscillates back and forth to
Resurrect the grass
Sunshine falls
On bare, springtime shoulders
Out for a walk
That rub between my toes
The first time of the season
When I wear flip flops
Spring is
Anything but calm
Bursting forth new life
