Springing into Summer

Posted on April 30, 2012by apronheadlilly

Spring is color and cloud,
wind and wildflowers,
rushing down headlong into summer.
Catch a breath!
Summer is heat and hats,
beach and books,
topped with tomato and avocado sandwiches.
Catch a sigh!

Freshly Dressed–Lilacs

Buds, asleep since summer, stretch and groan,
throwing off the gloom of winter’s sleep,
sloughing off constricting scales,
peeking through,
breaking through,
pressed by warming breezes.
With each new sun,
the growing and pushing opens in luscious bloom,
broadcasting bouquet to a tired and bare world.
Stretching with contour and color,
pulsing,
throbbing,
life dresses the barren with the fresh joy of spring.

Bits of Spring

. . . whispers of life
stirring,
breaking out,
and bits of spring,
sneaking,
tentative forays,
but I’m still hoping for one last snow . . .
