It's coming! Spring!

Spring's Coming!

“The time has come the Walrus said

To talk of many things.”

Of coming home where oven’s bread

Is like the Eastern spring.

For me, my roam, and time away,

And journey cross the plain,

Was more for friends, but I can’t stay

Where cold’s a daily gain.

So now I’m back at Eastern shore

To see the Tulip’s spring.

Remembering the sound and more

Of peepers birthing ring.

Spring comes with joy to those of us

Who honor species far.

Each prides their place with knowing trust

Despite long winter’s scar.

This is a time to be aware

Of powered place and phrase.

Each spring’s a grace and lasting prayer;

A loving light ablaze.
