the warm breeze cools relaxing with lilac scent as summer begins
almost overnight bare branches have erupted with color and scent
it seemed like a dream during the polar vortex that we would see green
there’s a disruption in the forces of nature skies will be angry
rarely in nature straight lines and right angles are Man forcing order
some grow straight and true others search along the way and build character
the shoots break the ground reaching out for the sunlight glad that winter’s passed
living on the edge of a vast prairie, the sky gives a sense of home
after days of rain and several months of snow sunsets are a treat
the will of nature has been beaten, we declare she just carries on
