Springy PhrasesA Poem by David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)A poem of reunion with SpringWhat is this sound
So sharp and so clear That tickles and titillates Against my ear What tis it that causes My spirits to sing What could it be This most miraculous thing What is that makes me feel so alive again After an infernal winter That seemed without end After the ice and the freezing And the frost bitten fingers What is that crisp new sound That echoes and lingers What could it be That fills me with hope What could it be that Makes me feel and act like a dope What is this gentle sound That Fractures fearsome, frozen rivers this soft sibilant sound That gives surcease to my shivers What is that sound that makes me feel like I’m ten again I think that I know now… It’s an old, long lost friend What is this wondrous Noise and clamorous din That makes my heart take wing It could only be what we’ve all waited Finally for, you see The noisy thing that is breaking … .is Spring! © 2012 David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)Author's Note
