The Way I Would Sing About Spring
I see reaching roots and how they have grown
Over and under and over the stone
As here alone with it I see the tree
And I wonder if the tree can see me
If we share a mutual presence known
To both of us if somehow this could be
I sense a sense of mutuality
What I think is the thing
I like best about spring
Is life annually renewed
Asserting its birthright
Overcoming its doubt
Revealing its meaning
Out of nothing coming something
Surprising winter eyes
Into a better mood
Opening up and airing out
Renewed life reveals its meaning
Astonishing into sunlight
By original spring cleaning
The thing I like best about spring
I see reaching roots and how they have grown
The showers brought flowers but I would sing
Of roots reaching over and under stone
Never and always together alone
This is the way I would sing about spring
Over and under and over the stone

Your poem reaches the core of sprint, the beginning of new life.
Wonderful poem.
