after a long
stiff
winter
time for new
beginnings
that feel
never-ending
again
and again
again
apple blossom
buds
blooming
in the warm
morning sunshine
a sweet gentle rain
thunder crashing
and a heavy
downpour
to cleanse
my mind
of icicles
dripping
like daggers
clothe me
in
a dress
of apple blossoms
and a sunshine
hat
breathe some life into me
and make me less fat
