A cool spring evening–
The trees festooned with buds–
A new season beginning–
New life, new hope, new love–
Off you go, to ramble
Through the park
Amid the green and pink and purple and yellow
The white and red–
The cracks in the pavement
Showing signs of winter’s stress
Are but a small hiccup to the
Peace of the day, of the season–
Don’t let the pests of spring blind you
And cause you to wince
And miss the beauty of the world
Waking up to a new day.
