      Spring Reminiscences

Early Spring surprises us
those who are bound by time
   to only our sacred shadows
fearing the night and Winter,
left with just the pleasures of
memory and imagination,
reminiscences dancing
in sunlight with the damp,
dead smell of grass and Winter
    passing
on a world spinning by
beyond all final dreams
and desires            
perhaps it is not too late
to tease our hopes
and joust with fate

Spring does bring hope.  I think the light brings a feeling that we can grow beyond the darkness of winter days.  Great time for renewed energy, introspection and putting plans into action.  

I like the new picture too, Bruce.

Never too late, they say.  Always enjoy your words.

Oh, to  joust to our hearts' content!  As long as we are breathing, we have a right to spring, and I suspect it's one of the wonders of heaven, too.  I read this several times and felt how fragile life is feeding on memories, but they are so important to what we become and carry the expectations of the heart's desire, with each new rung of the ladder...
