"Stolen Spring"

September 7, 2018; Persona Poem

I am spring, warm and glowing,

Flowers blossom where I stand.

In meadows, I frolick, loving, laughing,

As the wind holds my hand.

Pure and gentle, flowers braided in my hair,

Glimmering and lovely, blushing pinks and reds.

The sweet, beloved scent floats in the air,

Their song of love is not left unsaid.

I sing along, notes echoing off trees,

The birds whistle along to my little song.

The forest dances and waves as I please,

And it’s animals dance along.

Innocent and young, I beam back at the sun above,

I’ve been told here is where I glitter best.

It’s rays light my path, shower me in love,

My day is full of laughter, song, and rest.

I am spring, warm and loving,

Flowers blossom where I step.

In meadows, I frolick, unknowing, unseeing,

As the ground I so cherish swallows me up.
