List Poem

"The First Day of Spring."

I enter the crisp morning air

my ears consume the sounds around me

the swaying branches drown out the noise of  baby birds calling out

spears of light burst through the canopies over head

as I walk

delicate leaves shatter beneath my feet

my eyes follow the clusters of pine needles

gliding along the pavement 

dancing around like tides dodging boulders

as the breeze awakens the plants around begin to transform

as life unfolds before me eyes

and cherry blossoms rest above my head

I suddenly know

that spring is here.
