Balanced between equal day, equal night
a super moon nigh for a promising sight
the shift of the seasons – miraculous thing
no question, my favorite is this one-
it’s spring
The light so expands and the warming, it swells
if you’re in a bad mood, I’ll be hard-pressed to tell
everything’s brighter – the outlook – pure rosey
winter? good-bye –
’cause I’m so tired of “cozy”
I wanna go out without layers upon more
that add fumbled minutes to get out the door
to fling it wide open – burst out from within
without needing ‘nothin
but one layer thin
the walls of this house disappear, fade away
no barriers ‘tween
and I like it that way
the outside wafts in
on the lightest of breeze
caressing the buds
on awakening trees
I feel like my world is expanding ten fold
for ending my cloister away from the cold
So please, if you do, notice me in the spring
my halcyon season;
I love everything
How can you be sad
on this day of all days?
Don’t ask me!
I’m floating in drunken spring haze.
Living in a country with year round summer I still miss spring! It is such an optimistic time, I get it! Enjoy! I liked your poem.

Thank you! I do love the warmth, but my husband tells me that it is that way because of the wintery contrast. To witness the cycling of the seasons is to be a connected to something truly miraculous – I feel very fortunate, especially today! In winter however, I will just grumble about the whole thing as pine to be somewhere warmer š
