SPRING

The air currents swirled

like water in the ocean,

swift and calming.

.

The air reminded me of fall,

though life blossomed like spring,

new and refreshing.

.

A garden green,

so filled with scents,

floral and crisp.

.

Far above, in skies so blue,

clouds tumbled with rain,

heavy yet light.

.

The new spattering of drops

sprinkled with announced vigor,

free and soaring.

.

The air pushed back at me,

wanting me to stay outside,

lively and beautiful.

.

I pushed back,

making it inside,

dry and warm.

.

The water coarsed down my window,

trying to reach me through the glass,

wanting and calling.

.

I stepped away,

and picked up a book,

old and familiar.

.

I tried to read,

but the rain echoed in my ears,

loud and persistent.

.

I looked out into the storm,

washing away the death of winter,

old and stale.

.

It pounded ever louder

as I got closer,

victorious and abounding.

.

I stepped into the rain,

letting it soak into my clothes,

cool and fair.

.

Letting it run through my hair,

with my face thrown to the sky,

huge and cascading.

.

The thunder roared over the land,

a lion declaring his claim,

powerful and commanding.

.

I took in the world,

with a glance to the heavens,

vast and exciting.

.

This was life,

this was beauty,

pure and deliberate.

.

This was life.
