beautiful, powerful, capitivating
flirtateous lady,
necessary and needed
and so missed.
your jeweled fields of yellow and green -
so many shades of green.
where have you been
we wonder.
for so long we have been craving your warm touch
and whisper of promise.
the lilt of your brook and creature desire manifest.
our hearts are touched by the beauty of your grace and hope.
longing released.
how could we have forgotten the joy of your spirit
so faithfully reappearing,
a gift to our chilled winter hearts -
the soul of wonder.
to relax and know the ease of your presence,
to ask for nothing
but to bask in your splendor and awe.
you burst and chortle
agitate and meander along
with fits and starts, pauses, retreats,
until the fruit of your work matures
and the heat of July gives a tag
and you're off.
