I So Liked Spring

I so like Spring last year

Because you were here;-

      The thrushes to -

Because it was these you helped me hear.

And gave life

This year's a different thing

I'll not have you here

Because it's Spring the thrushes sing

And I'll not die, nor live.

I So Liked Spring

I was alive in Spring last year

Because you showed me how;-

clouds and flowers you made mine.

That is your gift.

I loved the teacher not the lesson.

This is a different spring

You are not here to tutor me.

So it will be winter to match my mood.

You are spring.

I So Like This Spring

I lived through many springs

because beauty is not fatal.

But you were not there

and Spring was calendar time.

This Spring is special

Because you bring forth the hawks and flowers

and give my heart eyes and ears.

Can you be the essence of Spring?
