Wishing Leaves

    My Spring

    2006

    My boots are thud, thud, thudding
    Like a beat upon the street
    While blooms are bud, bud, budding
    On the trees still without leaves

    My heart is beat, beat, beating
    Without rest within my chest
    While birds are tweet, tweet, tweeting
    On the ledges and in hedges

    My Spring is come, come, coming
    Soon her song will sing along
    With days of sun, sun, sunning
    On the rise across my skies
