spring

Northern hemisphere change of season

April 3, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

scaly winter, tortoise-slow and grinding,
devours the meat, the sweet, all it passes over
but as strong hands roll the stone away
life bursts from the splitting seed
and the spring sun is once again resurrected

hope spring forever

hope spring forever
Then summer stopping all our tears
autumn winter yes

hope spring green

hope spring green spring hope
warning songs heard as welcome
sunshine shapes desire

Spring is near coming

Spring is near coming
bare branches explode in green
the sea fog rolls in

Fresh green against impossible blue

Birdsong loud in crystal air
Spring bursts through unfurling leaves
Hope and glory
Hope and you

birdsong perfectly shaped

birdsong perfectly shaped takes flight

clotted clouds cover discoloured skies

winter thoughts are fleeing spring

From shadow

sunshine and rabbits and flowers
your eyes smile
suddenly it’s springtime

I’ll sleep when the clocks change

I’ll sleep when the clocks change
I’ll rest when the spring is here
I’ll feel the heat of the summer’s rage
and wonder where you are

spring streams

spring streams down green hills
clouds cross dream horizons
blue skies yes blue skies
