Every day the temperature climbs
Ever higher into the sky
The sky responds in turn
By sending a warm wind down to Earth

The wind brings warm air to share
Flowers spring up every where
Tender grass grows
Where lethargic leaf piles have been

Above all else the wind brings life
It reaches out and touches every being
Even places in me I thought long dormant
Sad thing is I didn't even know

I don't know how it happened
I felt so alive with you
Simple skills I have to re-learn
A detachment I've seemed to form

From the world I hid
Until a breath of spring
Gently woke me from my winter slumber
I didn't know you had affected me so greatly

So much more attune
To the seasons I have been
Anticipating every turn of leaf
Every flower bud opened

Such discreet things take care to remind me
The touch of another person
The feel of fine cloth upon skin
Of simple treasures once lost

As spring progresses
Summer creeps up behind it
Full of warm sunshine and lush promises
A silent world I live in now

You probably won't bother
With reading my petty thoughts
But it feels good to have it said out loud
So now I won't burden anyone but paper
