Scent of Spring There is a springtime wind today. I breathed it in and let it stay, Until it filled my being up, Like wine within a loving cup. I closed my eyes to sort the smell. There were new leaves there, I could tell And rising sap and warming earth, Where soon new plant life would give birth. But there were other odors too. A hint of far lands coming through, That spring had passed while looking for The path that leads up to my door! Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (03-04-2002 06:14 PM).] |

Yes the wind brings far away places to our doors. I like this idea. Joyce |

oh my! Such a lovely melodic rhyme. It's cold in Florida today. We also await those spring breezes. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

pegasus111: I've been hearing about the cold spell in the south, including Florida and I'm sure it is very hard on people there. They aren't used to the cold at all! Thanks for commenting. Betty Lou Hebert |

Ah, Betty; this is so lovely. How I love this fresh new scent of Spring! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Denise: Thanks. This was written strictly from my imagination, as we have had a three day snow storm, which I think is now ending. Betty Lou Hebert |
