Spring Again

Spring
Breaks in
Like a Thief

The Winter
Stands nude
Shivering in
Embarrassment

The land
Is uncertain
About what
Exactly
Should be done

The sun
Sends
Warming apologies

While the moon
Shows off
Its newest white shoes
Scuffing the sky

Life slowly opens
Its eyes again

Rubbing the light
With fingers
That smile

Laughter
Is heard
Again

The time of perfect promises
Has come
