The Will of April

Remember me?  
Drawn upon the pale sky with soft spring etchings of kite clouds and yellow forsythia sprigs
Was it not just the sullen gray of winter drifts and bone chilling cold that passed me in that corridor?
Blowing on my neck, and stuttering my lungs with icy mist and roiled gasps
But here I am, returning like truth to the judgement of the sun
Remember me?
I came to play, without apology or permission.  Step back winter.
My tears bring flowers in May

Oh goodness sakes, you and your stunning  brilliance are just what I needed.  

Yes, I remember you fondly.

“Sometimes it snows in April, sometimes I feel so bad, sometimes I wish that life was never ending. All good things they say never last”. — Prince

This is like a more optimistic and sweet answer to that song I quoted above and I love it. Great job.

I love this time of year. Death to winter!

I remember that weather, and you, too.
