Seasonal Perspectives

by Y. M. Roger

Down there, the breath of Spring is nigh

Buds swell for op’ning’s leap

Up here, that breath is but a dream

Those buds now set for sleep.

Below, each day finds more sunshine

As birdsong’s depth expands

Above, our ev’ning’s shadows grow...

Quiet ‘midst the nesting lands.

Northward, we feel the cooling air

Respite from summer’s heat

Southward, they welcome nature’s warmth

Ease from winter’s grasp complete

But no matter your location

(Equator notwithstanding)

Springtime heralds Earth’s revival...

Joyful life expanding!
