Early Spring

Earlier PoemsPoetry

I gaze breathless, as morning sun shines 
upon burgeoning buds, listening to birds
as they spread joy throughout the world.
In Spring I found longing tasted sweet —
and waves that echo passion rush swiftly
towards my feet. Such are thoughts, that 
revive my dreams.

    Birds and spring in general spread joy without realizing it or perhaps just because they are themselves joyful.

    I think that the essence of spring is more the longing than the burst.

    I like Bjorn’s /more the longing than the burst/ like a craving of dessert, or sex without love. Your internal rhymes work well too.

    Our “burgeoning buds” got snowed on this morning, but hopefully this is winter’s last gasp, and “waves that echo passion” will be rushing my feet any time now. Great read!

    Oh, I knew I could expect a bit of Wordsworth or Browning from you, dear Sanaa. And you didn’t let me down.

    “listening to birds” … that I have found myself doing lately – specifically, for the call of the Cardinal. It is quite comforting to hear it trilling from the treetops in the morning.

    “longing tasted sweet” indeed, knowing that it will be met soon. Your piece resonates with me. 🙂

    You begin with the external manifestations of Spring, and those quickly become surrogates for the internal reawakening of life. So much packed into so few lines.
