Spring is humming
Bits of something
A melody the simple part
A song that I once knew by heart
Juniper, wild indigo
Foxglove, lupine, Queen Ann's lace
Will be coming any day
The restlessness
The quickening
The almost but
Not yet
Muddy boots, last year's leaves
Every spring that came before
All they were and something more
The restlessness
The quickening
The almost but
Not yet
Do you see, do you see, do you see it
Take a breath
Oh, the restlessness
The beautiful not yet
There's a stirring
There's sweetness
At the edge of in between
I feel it nearly trembling
The restlessness
The quickening
The almost but
Not yet
