Spring Renewal

Spring Renewal
A Sonnet by Donna

Crocuses peek from the softening sod
Snow banks disappear with each passing day
Daffodils gather to give us a nod
Sunshine and light bring the promise of play.

Why does my soul languish in a cocoon?
How can I see past the gloom that still lurks?
Wait! Is that light from the silvery moon?
Saying, open to joy despite your quirks!

Spring has arrived, so rejoice and be glad
Winter cannot linger to rule and reign
Now is the season to throw geese a tad
While walking and skipping along the lane.

Like the stately tulips show forth their worth
Lord, my soul is renewed like the spring earth.
