in April, May, June, what fun! my love of Spring and I did run from hill to hill, engulfed by sky and sun and dreams; sprightly, spry.
July, August, cool September,
heat dissolved to joyful embers, Summer's passion played its hand then passed beyond to tranquil land.
October painted brilliant scenes,
November settled, all serene, December sounded final knell, Spring love and I succumbed to spell. solemn Winter hurled its might, faith and hope did shrivel, quite estranged from ventures vernal-born, our world receded, bare, forlorn. Spring love and I, shivering, cold, awaiting March's overthrow, see verdant forces wake, reveal how Life can burst through Death's conceal. I love the cycle, love the Spring, love the Hand that moves, that brings evangel to all soul's bereft: Enter Spring, embraced, His guest. |

About the Poet
Born and raised and live in Kentucky but I wear shoes most of the time. Nearing retirement and looking forward to spending more time with my wife of 36 years and our wonderful daughter and son-in-law. Have worked in the medical profession for over 30 yrs. Lots of changes! Started writing poetry after my father passed away in 2006. My sister passed away at age 50 and it has been a joy to help guide her five precious children and now we have six great-nieces and great-nephews. I am the guardian for my handicapped brother and my wife and I arrange for his 24 hr care. In reality, Willy's simple faith and absolute inexhaustible supply of unconditional love are probably the inspirational source for most of my poetry. He and I have easily watched more than 2,000 episodes of Mister Rogers together! "But a cheerful heart has a continual feast." He has a continual feast and is more than willing to share! If the world could look through his compassionate/non-judgmental eyes, this would be a much nicer place!
