Spring, so sweetly and softly snuck up on us
What subtle secrets so surprisingly surface unannounced
Be not timid oh gentle blossoms
Or shy you tender trees
Life is found among these
Hope is beginning to surface
Once more
Spring is surging
Much stronger than before
What beauty lies in this vergint wood
Such brightness such depth
Such fullness of being
As though time were stilled
By this earthen birth
What joy what grace
They give this garden space
So gently they grow
They tickle this thicket
They tease as they touch
Each branch of the trees
Oh, new life is coming
The spell of winter is broken
And spring has awakened
Yes, spring has awakened
And breathes life into
Every living thing
