Spring's Secret Arrival

Between Winter and Spring,

when all the birds sing

in anticipation

for a warm declaration,

As fair weather enters,

chasing away all of winter's

Bone-chilling frozen days

replaced with warm sunny rays,

There's a hidden sunrise

in transitioning skies

over fog down below

even thicker than snow.

It is no longer cold,

but the warmth is not bold

enough yet to confide

that she's here, so she'll hide

In her blanket of mist

sharing a secret tryst

with the birds and the bees

over grasslands and seas.

Then, adorned like a bride,

she will no longer hide.

Her veil will be lifted,

and life will have shifted

into vibrant, clear days

under warm springtime rays.

She will dance and be glad.

Lovely times will be had.
