Untitled Spring Poem

[butterflydreaming]

The soft pink drift of spring
pale desire, the weight of wishes
petals blown, a fantasy of rain
gusting through winter frigid streets
to stick on the wet sidewalks

March passing with the steps of a lamb
A hope of April rising purple from the soil
satin flowers born during a dismay of unseasonable snow
The light of longer days, a benediction

The newborn season, the nest of promises
The coal that held through winter disintegrates to ash,
patience spent. Longing for a warm day conceives
A dream of sunlight's kiss
From the indifferent caress of cherry blossom falling.
