It may be but the middle of February
this day, this crazy wonderful day
but out of the blue the sun came out
as with a vengeance for all the days
his face imprisoned by endless clouds
felt the land's dream as dark and dank
still caught in Winter's vise-like grip

Suddenly and without warning
in a moment of unguarded ebullience
Spring, so shy and hesitant, so light of step
bounced from her deep slumber under the Earth
and with a shout of delight and crazy joy
filled mountain valleys and cities' gardens
with a touch of her long-awaited magic

Buds still draped in the night's frost
dangle pearly mystical drops and silver bells
as dew in a Summer's early morning.
Robins try out their first Spring songs
while a gentle breeze whispers by
rustling herself a bit of hesitant music
in dry grasses, rushes and scattered leaves.

Everywhere come the sounds of renewal
everywhere life springs forth
not caring it's too early Spring for most
daringly unleashed in fervent hope
that Spring, real Spring
cannot now be far away
I too know this and how
can one help but rejoice, if foolishly?

WW - Rejoicing at the change of seasons or any change for the matter is, I think, not foolish at all. And too soon is better than too late. Enjoyed as usual!

WindWalker,

I loved this one. The second strophe made me laugh out load.

That's a way good thing.
