spring melancholy

my muse ...

she hides in a forest
under layers of
leaves,
leftover
from winter

not so sure
she wants
to emerge,
yet
compelled

to awaken
by the bright
singing of
sparrow
and siskin

and roots
sucking water
expounding on
spring's
insufferable
cheerfulness

Humbly, I Thank you for awakening, Maureen.

I'm never as fond of spring as others--it just means that horrid horrid horrid summer is near.
