Into the Wild Green Wonder
an Ode to Spring
Under Spring’s Wild Blue
Wonder we enter its new
and renewing Green.
Enchanting us round parks
and woodlands, ponds,
hillsides, meadowlands.
Awakening us
through all our years,
all the ages of earth,
all the pages of history,
poetry, mythology.
With its symphony
of daring colors.
Its delicate flowering.
Its essencing
of innocence; ecstasy
of purest presence.
Beckoning us
to fall once again
into the wild green wonder
of its outstretched arms,
like forever young and
eager lovers.
