Renewal  

Renewal

The spirit of renewal

alive and giving birth

daffodils and crocus

heads peeking from the earth

Smells and sounds surround me

the air is fresh and clean

critters playing leapfrog

in the meadows green

Trees that once stood naked

have thawed from winter storms

now dressed in pretty garments

birds nestled in their arms

Nights bring peace and harmony

a calm within the breeze

spring and all its glory

hopscotch's in reprieve

Tiptoes into vision

arrives with gentle sigh

cradles us with comfort

like Mother's lullaby

Sun will greet the morning

to start a brand new day

robin's seeking breakfast

squirrels hard at play

Our moods will find a balance

'n smile with nature's song

the magic of His wonder

will carry us along

Soon butterflies will flutter

the skeeta's taunt and tease

feel the kiss of nature

placed upon your cheek

Hear the spirit's whisper

carried from the hills

stop, look and listen

let troubled thoughts be stilled

His canvas full of color

leave imprints in my heart

the spirit of renewal

in a tapestry of art
