Springtime!

WELCOME TO SPRING!
WELCOME TO ARIES!
X
Here's one Aries baby, March 22,
jumping to the conclusion that
Jack Frost is history once more!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
XXXXXXXXXXX ARIES
X
Falling in winter's demise,
three inches of snow can't halt
the impertinence of daffodils
pushing to stand on earth
made virgin again.
x
Renaissance in the garden
is a holiday for Aries.
A promise carried on the air,
a trace of green to sniff as hope,
to live anew no matter what the year collected.
x
Aries discards history with a snap so sharp
that the past is not only over and done,
but resting in winter's crypt.
x
At the vernal turn,
trust without end,
a blade of grass,
a childlike laugh,
once more to cross
the threshold into spring.

  7. I heard you had flurries today to welcome spring! Nevermind, now that we have reached the equinox, none of that stuff will last. We are finally entering the warmth again!

  9. 'pushing to stand on earth'

    That's such a powerful line. The force of nature wins in the end.

  10. I can never enjoy spring--my allergies prevent this all the time.

    Thank you...I do think we have to "take a stand"!

    I have great sympathy for this condition, many around me really suffer the seasons. I pray that you find a "cure".
