Meeting Spring On Her First Day....

She comes through the white door.
All light and dew...
Her smile is the dawn and her eyes shine with hope.
She offers me her hand and I take it.
We walk into the day...
"You've been cruel to my sister." She says with laughter in her step.
I try to speak but she cuts me off.
"As cold as she might be, my sister winter has her place."
"Sorry, I will try harder next time she comes" I say.
She sounds of growing grass and feels like the songs of birds as she replies.
"You lie, but it's alright she isn't very fond of you either."
She dances forward, spinning upon the ground.
The smell of longer days and change emanates from her.
You can almost hear the sound of rain and thunder as her feet touch the ground.
I stand in awe and reverence as the earth responds to her arrival...
It seems so long since last I saw her.
I had almost forgotten the joy she brings...
"Well silly? Are you going to just stand there staring?"
She grabs my hand and moves me forward...
"Life is waiting, so lets go!"
And as the flowers bloom,
I dance forward hand in hand
with her who ended the cold.
