The Muted Colors of Spring



Muted colors of spring,
Blooming softly all around me,
Trying to show me,
Something I can’t see…

You whisper softly,
Please forget what I said,
And I whisper back,
I’m trying to see spring…

I show you the tiny blue flowers,
Growing along the trail,
The doe and her fawn,
Rising to his feet for the first time,

I saw the hawk today
Flying in the sky,
The beauty of her freedom,
Made me want to cry...

I am trapped in memories,
I can’t ease my mind,
But your soft kisses,
Mute the pain,
Make me glad,
I'm still alive...

I want to touch your soul,
Take a peek inside,
Wondering if we can ever,
Be that close again,

And spring blooms wantonly,
Sending fragrances of love,
Wafting in the breeze,
The trees are getting their leaves,
And soon there will be shade...

I look into your face,
Trying to see your eyes,
But the morning fog is thick,
The sun has not burned away the pain,

I am numb,
Freezing in the rain,
Yet,
The flowers,
The flowers-
Are in bloom again...

Wonderful pastoral images in this. Nature feels no need for any input from us. We have to muddle through on our own.

Nature knows no emotion. The spring comes, not knowing that the winter of soul has not thawed.

Without the visual aid the poem stands on it own....reminding me that no matter how bleak our life seems or how down we may feel...the flowers will still bloom...there is always beauty, if we want to look for it...
