The Beauty and the Bleakness of Early Spring
We left the tropics at the end of March,
Lush greenness embedded in our minds.
The swaying palms and the flowering shrubs
Showing colors of all kinds.
As we traveled north the colors changed,
From Kelly Green to Forest.
Higher elevations brought changes as we drove,
We began seeing branches at their barest.
At Last, A True Spring Day
Words could not express the awe I felt
While kayaking down the river
After three days of rain, clouds and cold
Which seemed would last forever,
Until, that morn, the sun broke free
From that cloudy, rainy misery
And shared its warmth, no clouds to see,
Breaking through Spring fever.
