Oh Joyous Spring! Poem by Kathleen Reguindin

Oh Joyous Spring!



A new day, a new beginning
From the grounds, a rebirth
Spring bulbs emerge
Pushing through dead leaves and earth
From hibernation, they welcome the sun
Their presence signifying winter is almost gone!

I glance up the sky and what do I espy?
Geese coming home from the south
Robins and blue jays and cardinals chirping and flying
Bumble bees now active, buzzing, buzzing
Monarch butterflies displaying their vibrant colours
From flower to flower, they flit and suck nectar
They, too, bask in the warmth of the sun.

Meadows and fields are still a little drab and brown
But here and there, green grass stalks poke thru earth
The trees still look barren dead to the eye
But as I look closer, I see life, numerous leaf buds sprouting forth
And playfully I put my ear against its trunk
Imagining all the milky white sap juices flowing through her,
Knowing soon these trees will be crowned with leaves!

Rains and melted snow form the runoffs
Spring is the time when water overflows
Finding its way to the creeks, brooks and rivers
Songs in my ear, they babble and gush
Their beautiful energy infuses me as I listen
Cleansing my soul, purifying,

I am in awe as I watch
From the cliffs above, from boulders and rocks
Down comes the smoldering water, crashing below in a cold blue pool
As it hits the ground, cool mist splashes on my face.
And I close my eyes, feeling revived, invigorated.

From the dark, cold winter days
Animals come out of their deep slumber
They shake off their stiffness, no more lethargy
Now’s the time to look for food and a mate!

Spring is truly a season of new beginnings
I smell her scent, I feel her presence
As she walks through our land, she recreates and breathes life!
From the north and the south, she commands the rainfalls!
Casting her wand, a great transformation takes place right in front of my eyes
A time of life, a time of renewal
A season so filled with blessings, oh joyous spring!
