Welcome Spring

Welcome Spring

As morning breaks across the valley

a watermark moon is stamped

pale upon the sheet of crisp blue sky

hanging over the waking earth.

Swaying in a gentle cosmic breeze

it heralds a bright spring day

to elevate our frosted hearts

as we skip into the mundane

with rejuvenated vigour.

The prospect of exposure

to the warming of the sun

a fine fillip to our woes

and pale skins.

The discard of clothes

tempts our primitive desires

with an air filled

with amorous intention

as we melt into the demise

of the harshest winter nights.

Hey John, great work. We are getting some awesome weather over here so this poem only accentuates my excitement for the next few months. Great flow, great subject, and to top it off, an very fitting title.

Many thanks Keith. Yesterday was like summer, 20%. This morning at 06:00 as I sit here it is bright sunshine. This piece was inspired as I drove out of the village on Monday morning and looked across the valley.

A very great write, John. I really enjoyed reading it although, doesnt look like we'll get any nice weather for a while here ;) I'll be wishing though.... Haha.

I know. I always take note of the weather in Glasgow and it makes me sure I made the right decision in moving. I remember lots of grey days. It was glorious yesterday and we should get some decent weather over the bank holiday. Hope you get some nice sun soon. Thanks Sye.

Lucky you. It reminds me of the good days in Dubai, miss it there but wouldn't move back there if I could. Ha. Hope you get some good weather. :)

Anytime.

The sun is one of my life's simple pleasures Quin. Even when at my lowest it always soothes. Many thanks.
