Spring over the burgh
Golfers swing across the fields —
Smiles glow in warm light.

The sun breaks the clouds,
Its warm light will heal the soul —
A smile will arise.

I stand unsure of wrong or right,
As joy drifts further out of sight.
What once brought peace now fades away,
In tangled knots that cloud the day.

Though roses bloom with sweet perfume,
Their scent can't lift this shaded gloom.
I wish the sun would light the way,
To songs once lost in yesterday.

No tears, no heartache, nor despair,
Just light to cleanse the heavy air.
And love will warm as hope draws near,
With joy that shines serene and clear.

Once a daisy stood,
spring’s rays kissed the earth with light,
lotus now blooms bright.

Chimney glows with doubt,
wind sweeps through the open door,
life or death—depends.

icicle tears fall,
doubt clouds dim once-sunny hearts—
promise parts the dreich.

A young and strong kite
on a mission through fields bright,
a pull—the journey ends.
