April

Bright April
 
Earth
 
Begins
 
To unsettle
 
Shedding away
 
Its winter wears
 
Groggy as a bear
 
Waking up
 
From
 
Hibernation
 
Hustle
 
Bustle
 
Rustle
 
In the rotting leaves
 
Left over
 
From
 
Fall
 
And
 
winter
 
Everything now
 
Beginning to
 
Become unthawed
 
Like a jar of Mamma’s homemade jelly
 
Transferred
 
From freezer
 
To fridge
 
To counter top.
 
Seasons are a cycle
 
That never stop
 
Stop
 
Backtrack
 
Where was I at
 
Ahh
 
Yes
 
The winter
 
Cycling
 
Into Spring
 
Everything
 
Becoming
 
Unthawed
 
From the winter
 
Ahh,
 
Yes
 
Spring
 
And the beauty
 
Which it brings
 
Not as cold
 
or as bitter
 
As winter
 
But
 
Cooler
 
Than summer
 
Just.
 
Right
 
Where
 
Bare feet
 
on concrete
 
Doesn’t have
 
Your feet
 
Sizzlin’
 
Like bacon.
 
It’s the time of season
 
Where Mother Earth
 
Gives birth
 
to her children
 
Fall is decay
 
Winter is death
 
Spring is birth
 
While in Summer
 
You linger
 
In transition
 
Oh
 
The beauty
 
Of
 
Spring
 
Everything
 
So
 
Fresh
 
And abundant
 
The robins
 
With their bright
 
Fiery
 
Orange breast
 
Return home
 
To rest
 
Roost,
 
And
 
Construct
 
Their wiry nest
 
Of twigs and branches
 
High above
 
In the tops
 
Of apple trees
 
Keeping their children
 
Safe from harms way.
 
Away
 
From their enemies
 
Who view them as tasty prey
 
The tenants below
 
Are
 
Busy
 
Bumbling
 
Buzzing
 
Bees
 
Gathering
 
Pollen
 
From
 
Apple blossoms
 
Produced by the fruit of the tree.
 
Every
 
Living
 
Thing
 
In
 
Harmony
 
In
 
Rebirth
 
In
 
Transition
 
seasons are continous cycles
 
Oh, how I long for Spring
 
And the beauty
 
Which it brings
