Hello Spring
A poem by Mark S. Peel
One year since our paths have crossed
Since the last of the flurries, the sting of the frost
Surrendered to the warmth of the sun,
The fresh smell of earth, the birds that hum
Welcome, welcome
Take your proper control of all things natural
Everything vertical, all that is lateral
Proceed to work the cycle that renews
That promises rebirth, that produces grand views
Thank you, thank you
Time is short not to be needlessly delayed
The imperative of design cannot be mislaid
So the heat of summer is put to good use
Averting a timed season from unnatural abuse
Hurry, hurry
