Winter's protected luminosity
Resplendently opening arms to
abundance
She's come again
Kissing their cheeks
Tousling their hair
Spring weaving warmth and chills
April's shade held firmly hostage
by winter's embrace
Stalwart, returning on twilight dusk
Buoyant youth rejoicing on
Repeat
Heralding the retreating
Vestiges of winter
Tipsy from the sweet nectar
of Spring's perennial promise
Running, screaming, laughing, sliding, swinging coats
scarcely hanging on
A blurred kaleidoscope of
Frenetic, pent-up aspiration
Barely perceptible green hues
Secretly whispering
Her return yielding
Warmth
Light
Life

This is gorgeous, Denise. Love the images of the waning winter and the delightful return of spring that fills us with so much life and longing. Can't wait to read more from you.
I love this, Denise. Beautifully written.
Oh, I need spring so badly. I swear winter has decided not to leave Chicago this year.
Gorgeous. And so true to life...
Thank you...
Love the imagery here. I am in a serious poetry phase right now and love how you weave the words.
Alleluia!
The word verification on this was: shesid, which just seems so close to she said. Lovely.
This is a breath of fresh air in itself.
