New England Thaw

Mother Nature released her death grip
cast upon our northern town  
flowers waking from their slumber  
reaching up breaking ground  
 
blossoms blooming everywhere  
the local song birds perch and sing  
bumblebees pollinate while humming,  
nature’s calling, are you listening?
 
late afternoon spring breezes  
with picturesque sunsets  
tiki lamps two glasses of wine  
romantic fire pits  
 
springtime has arrived and with it
bringing happiness and all things new,  
so grateful after a harsh long winter  
filled with seven months of gloom
