SPRING HAS SPRUNG
The freshness, cleanliness, newness
The trees are in their budding view
Everything is becoming alive and new
The crocus, the primroses
The daffodils too
The pounding, beating, and thrashing
Rain has lost its battle
It’s rattled, jangled and unsettled
The
birds flying high in the sky
The
torrents, the streams
Over
flooding
The
constant cloudbursts, downpours
Oh
the deluges!
Drowning
the smallest of the smallest
Will
they survive? Can they survive?
Have
they take shelter from the rainstorms?
But
this deluge is renewing
Exciting,
entrancing, enthralling
I
could stand here all day
Everyday
Wash
these winter blues away
Chase
the shadows
The
doom and glooms
The
stalkers, the trackers
Far,
far away
With
this deluge of rain
