Today Spring has Come True...

*Where nature's hidden hold 

Begins to drip and spill

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
