| i can wait for spring no more. my heart finds itself beating a little more quickly, as the heavily scented air seems to perfume these almost spring days. my hands wanting to delve into the loam and earth, ready to feel the dirt under my nails. i look to you on these days, when the blue sky seems to vibrate more strongly, the clouds seemingly closer then the tepid last days of winter. i see you in the blossoming flower gardens i have set for spring, for the salvia and geranium, the mums and the momentary lilacs. i see you beside me as root springs to earth, and takes hold, stretching out its tender foliage, stretching for the sun. and my heart beats faster even still, as the blossoms raise and ripen, the tomatoes and beans as they color brightly. for you began as a seedling in my heart, planted, but nutured and tenderly loved as the seasons have passed. and long have i waited to water this garden of hope, this deluge of dreams that has become our life. for you are the gardens as they grow, you are my love as they blossom with the spring. |
