Spring

FOREVER SPRING

 

The only real spring of my life

Besides the Love of Christ

Holds my life's key

It’s called po-e-try

Word revealing

Stealing from my thoughts

Out of my brain into the light

Now you have to know that I will never see night

 

Spring time lies within my pen

Always New

Forever fresh

spring rains falling

Re-newing me

I’ve been blessed

Could be sad

But no, I choose to be glad

Can I pass this test?

Have I gone mad?

 

So many days, I leave my body

Floating around in a world of ink

Have you been there?

I’ve been everywhere

On mars

In a race car

Floating off yonder somewhere into the blue

How about you, you wanta be brand new?

 

Grab a pen

Grab a paper

Hurry, hurry

Filtering through my head

Write it down, let it be read

Who knows, maybe it will be read after I'm dead?

Oh well, don't matter, I must write

Write I must

 

My heart speaks at all times

Hugged by words

Kissed by commas

Adored by the English Language

Now, do I put a quotation mark there?

If not there, then where?

I hope you understand

I can write all things

Words at my command

 

I will stay spring time as long as I live

If my fingers can hold a pen

Green is what I’ll be

Never no winter

Never no fall

Maybe a tid-bit of summer

And that is not all

 

Oops here it comes, spring

Spring is singing in my heart

Listen……………..

Cords of purple and yellow

Soprano shadows in the wind

Playing in mammie's shadow

As she hangs clothes on string

 

Crocus, tulips and daffodils

A birds nest on every limb

Morning just broke up on the meadow

Baby rabbits scampering around

Colored Easter eggs to every child in town

The hammer swings

Rusty nails all in a row

Healing for hurting

Beauty for ashes

Immortality is screaming in my head

Something I must not dread

 

Stay away Fall

Stay away Winter

Sing sweet Spring

He set me free to live forever

Up there where the soul will never die

A place called Heaven.......
