A squall of hawk wings stirs the sky
A hummingbird holds and then hies
If I could fly, I'd choose to be
Sailing through a forest of poet-trees
A cast of crabs engraves the sand
Delighting a child's outstretched hand
If I could breathe under the sea
I'd dive, I'd dip, I'd dance with glee
A clump of crocuses crave the sun
Kites soar while joyful dogs run
I sing to spring to budding green
to all of life - seen and unseen
Wee whispers drift from cloud to ear
and finally reach one divining ear
who looks up from her perch and beams
West Wind is dreaming May, it seems
To a pied pocket the Zephyr returns
blowing soft words the seer discerns
from earthbound voyage to dreamy night,
The time is now. I give you flight!
Yet I fear I am no kite or bird -
I lift! The world below me blurred
by tears of joy. I spiral high
I hum, I dive, I dip, I hive!
Behold! Spring is but a dance away!
I grab my pen, then capture this day.
