SPRING - DAY ONE
Busy streets, quiet peace
Sunshine and sidewalk grime
Smiling faces from newborn spring
Endless possibilities for the approaching summer
Gangsters and grey-haired ladies walk side by side
No real destination or purpose ...
Just to live and walk
Today, life gets no better
Homeless folk with designer shoes have no trouble making a living today
The sun has made the homeful generous
Coffee cups overflow with silver
And happy exchanges make social class disappear for a moment
Sandals and mini skirts breathe the fresh air
After a long winter in storage closets
Sun glasses hide the smiling eyes of strangers acting like family
Brown and shriveled trees stretch hopefully to the sky
The sun arouses every hidden bud
Seeds bounce beneath the soil,
Wakening from dreams of their own coming beauty
The "ugly" birds scavenge for scraps
Their sad faces show they know the coming of robins and butterflies
A beauty pageant of winged-creatures begins
The grey and black birds cry for their winter to return
Laughter and idle chatter bounces off every stone and wooden wall along this street -
A road named for the season that starts today
On day one, the people walk this road and breathe new life
The lightness of their steps tells a tale of hope...
Hope for fresh starts and a brand new season
