Spring Blooms

Spring is finally beginning
it's not obvious
with the cool breeze blowing
or the lingering snow
but it is creeping out.
You can smell it
in the rich smell of earth.
And as I breathe it in
I find buds growing sprouting
in my chest
the beginnings of a longing
for sunshine and warmth
to lay down on green grass
listening to the bird songs
and stretch towards blues skies
to smell wildflowers
and tramp through meadows
to drink in the beauty and life
of spring with greedy gulps
and lavish in its splendor.
Yes with this little inkling
that spring is here
I can once again bloom.
