DAY SPRING

It is the tumult of the season turning quickly in the air

That would move my mind and pen to follow suit

As my senses seek to keep up with the movement that is there

And my soul would hear the call of its recruit.

Life is not what you hold quiet in your desire;

It is more an active rising pillar of fire

That will find you if you let it lift you higher

Like the sap that’s flowing upward from the roots.

Heaven knows the cycles that will win creation

When the creature would to heaven give its due

So the blessings of the first fruits of its wonder

Can enrapt us all and life for us embue

With the dance that will enhance the turning circles

Giving balance to the dark and to the gray

By the glory of the sun’s return to warm us

And the celebration of a brand new day.
