Anticipation
Night breeze inhibits, warm hints that signal “spring”,
Night breeze inhibits, warm hints that signal “spring”,
Too long delayed, yet, hope is mine,
Too long delayed, yet, hope is mine
Warm spring breeze (yet mine delayed)
That Signal, inhibits hints of hope: Night is too long!
Shy, undaunted, buds by chilled earth peeking,
Shy, undaunted, buds by chilled earth peeking,
Seeking sun, from seasons sitting dormant,
Seeking sun, from seasons sitting dormant,
Chilled earth sitting by sun-peeking buds,
Undaunted, seeking, from shy, dormant season.
On trial, it seems, as winter’s raspy file,
On trial, it seems, as winter’s raspy file,
Despite attempts to swipe and chase away,
Despite attempts to swipe and chase away,
The trial as raspy filed and swipe away,
Despite (it seems) to winter’s chase attempts.
That spring breeze, is sitting too long, filed away,
Delayed by winter’s raspy chill, Yet mine inhibits
(it seems), despite shy buds’ warm attempts,
From earth peeking, by sun seeking trial,
Hints of dormant hope, as signal undaunted,
To swipe and chase the night season.
