Spring

The tide is turning on winters grip

as the inevitable seasons shift

Spring is making its presence felt

daylight hours start stretching out

The frost has gone,the last thaw seen

turning clocks forward, nights recede

the dawn chorus now starts at four

Trees full of blossom and fresh new leaves

flowers emerging so to are the bees

My thoughts wondering on what’s to come

aches and pains easing in the summer sun

Lifted spirits, laughing and smiling

life feels good, at least for now

Turning down the thermostat

sense the relief, in doing that
