“Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.”
Robert Frost
Now is truly the time
To emerge from hibernation
And smell the fragrant new blooms
Now is truly the time
To frolic in a greening meadow
And escape your confined room
Now is the time
To welcome the songbirds
Back to your patio bird station
Now is the time
To gaze in awe and admiration
Observing new life with elation
Now is the time
To put on your hiking boots
And climb a sun-drenched hillside
Now is the time
To eagerly take in the view
With your dog by your side
Now is the time
To wander into the woods
Refreshing your heart and soul
Now is the time
To truly look and listen
At all the wonders to behold
Do you believe in magic?
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Believe in the Magic of Spring

I agree with Kate below completely...it's a question of belief...:)
I echo her belief !
I love the Robert Frost quote, he is a particular favourite of mine, especially this one
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. "
The picture of the cock sparrow is beautiful !

The positive atmosphere in this made me sing inside... now I'm singing "outside" too! Just stepped out, entirely influenced by your powerful/giddy poem.
"To frolic in a greening meadow
And escape your confined room"
This sent me to the balcony door and out into the air. Sigh... thanks for the "wake-up." No "confined room" for me today! Wheeeee... katy xox

I do sing,
Though Rufuz likes cold,
He is not like you and I, old...ed

One has to set aside the time and the season for oneself to feel good about everything.
Wonderful write, Ed!
