Doubtless allegory on minty taste of Spring
Abundantly the labeling by warm winds grows
Tiny bits of information; feel anticipation
Thinking inner smile, like a child for arrival
Still the bright twinkle of snowflake in flight
So beautiful, like Angels, on a late Winter night

Seasoned ropes have daydreams of rungs so appealing
Knowing difference in planning new, unique, soul
Learning by ifs, whys and probably something dawning
Changes like the weather are filtering whimsically through
Checking last year's list with again, impractical
Parade of moments: Outside, white driven snow stalls

Malleable luxury, lilac on the breeze
Parts of Heaven gliding by, saying soft hello
Oneness, imagined, known real, a thankful bell peals
When there; but this mind vacation is quite nice, please
Share with me, cups of kindness and laughter, calm seas
For those with arrows to the heart, everlasting

Good Morning, sweet William. I've read it three times and still I find more to discover. Beautifully written, my favorite is the second part, it put a smile on my lips and made me want to run out and plant something.

I have a hard time keeping up with your prolific writing! I try to go back through your posts every week or so and make sure I've read everything.

Hope you didn't eat too much chocolate today.
