Today Spring has Come True...

*Where nature's hidden hold 
Begins to drip and spill
As sweetest wealth of Maple Gold
Gives young and old a thrill...

I didn't have the opportunity to post a first day of spring poem yesterday
so let's celebrate its arrival today!

And though we know somewhere
The last snowfall still taunts
With bolder happiness we dare
To dream of flowered haunts...


We revel in the afternoon
Of leafless gold, sun-kissed...


Today spring has come true
The sun climbs a blue hill
Strewing a golden residue
To earth, still stark and chill

And though we know somewhere
The last snowfall still taunts
With bolder happiness we dare
To dream of flowered haunts

The robin sings for rain
Bird-warbling hails the morn
Across the melt-and-mud terrain
The killdeer’s cry is borne

…and though the bud’s cocoon
Is a clenched, maroon fist
We revel in the afternoon
Of leafless gold, sun-kissed

*Where nature's hidden hold 
Begins to drip and spill
As sweetest wealth of Maple Gold
Gives young and old a thrill  
 
A promised land of green
Starts to break winter's spell
Where once a whitewashed world had been
And frigid shadows fell

We sense time’s discipline
That no hand can undo
And smile the smile of youth again
For Today Spring came true
