First Day of Spring
by Anniekate
Age Group: Adult
Dirty steel-grey skies
Fog lays heavily
Between trees and houses
Dimming the real world
Into a fuzzy Grimm's fairy tale
Cat sits quietly on the chair
Staring as cars and trucks
Zoom on 94
Busy people, important appointments
Thick air, pregnant with moisture
Water drips from on high
Into puddles lying on sidewalks
Air and earth smell reborn
The cat notices
His nose quivering and scrunching up
Sniffs the beginning
Cycle of life anew
I sit on my balcony
Sounds of trucks deafening
I can barely hear
The whisper of the Goddess
And the God
In their youth, calling to play
I sit on my balcony
Cat swats at me
Behind dull-looking windows
Reflecting
The dim grey spring sky
I inhale deeply
From on high in my crow's nest
I can feel the cruel bite
Of winter dying
I sit here watching
Rush hour almost over
Drinking my Irish cream coffee
I can smell the earth
And her secrets
Being revealed
In due time
I too, feel reborn
Like out of a deep slumber
That went on for far
Too long
This is the beginning
Of change for me as well
But my secrets
Are my own
Hidden, like the sun
On this first day of birth.
