Spring
Green stem emerges
Brown ground softens
Soft moss absorbs
Crystal snow melts
Warm air humidifies
Scented wind whisps
and scatters dandelion strands of hope
up and away
into the Spring sky.
The sky’s light is dim in anticipation.
Flattened grass is dull and crunchy.
The air holds a chill that smells like snow.
Waiting.
