POEM BY

            SPRING WIND

Standing on the edge of the meadow a soft warm spring wind blowing
The wildflowers blowing in a sea of red, purple and yellow
The sweet fragrance wafts gently to my nose filling my head with hope
Each spring life begins again in the meadow high above the fray
Gentle kindness blows through the valley settling on the high meadow
A magical mystery of life to behold has the forest wakes from its deep winter sleep
Snow still nestled against the base of the trees looks like the last hold out of the winter
Yet that snow will give life to the meadow for weeks to come
Rain sweet and soft will add fire to the colors in the meadows bringing out the beauty
For beauty peace and solitude lay before me watching the flowers sway in the breeze
Sunshine warming my back and beauty warming my heart
Such wonders to behold to take the time and reach out for them sets me free
My soul and heart race with bee's busy gathering pollen making more flowers
To be one with the earth and mountains such a glorious thing to hold in your heart
Each winter I await the arrival of the wind to set me free from the winter doldrums
Each spring the world starts anew for me in this magical place high on the mountain
Gaining strength and courage to face the storms, which lie ahead in the coming months
But in this brief moment I know the truth in the word love for its spread before me
In the panoramic view of the valley and meadow that I alone see once a year
Love is a mystery just like the meadow and spring but a simple one to unravel in the beauty that lies before me
