Spring reveals herself

by Melissa   Mar 20, 2006


Spring reveals herself
and lays a blanket of lush green grass,
I say, "Hi, to the birds of harmonic melody,
that song reminds me of life."

Mother earth points to the dandelions at my feet
and I make it a point to waste my wish.
Petals of white caress my thighs
singing their song of he loves you, he loves you not.

Miss sunshine spots a rainbow in flight
and she smirks at my drowning heart.
I say, "Hey, Do you even know what it's like
to own the kind of love that no one wants?"

Sunny says, "How do you intend on growth
if the rain forgets to cleanse your soul?
And how do you expect to find that pot of gold
if there are no puddles to follow?"

I say, "These tears only remind me of my sorrow,
and this mud that you call soil,
keeps dirtying my soul with impurities,
leaving me with a smudge of imperfections.

Sunny says, "Well, it is late and I must set,
but know this, I'll be back tomorrow and the next.
So don't shut me out and live in a world of gray
it is I who can chase the darkness away."

I whisper under my breath, who does she think she is,
with all of her wisdom and good advice,
all I need is someone to sing me a lullaby
and lay me down to sleep tonight!"

Little Miss Luna reveals herself
and feeds me some of her sparkling light,
She says, "Hush, your sweet little heart,
have no fear, for I am here to tuck you in...
