Happy April! Spring is bursting everywhere!

It happened while I was sleeping
only yesterday the branches were bare
now an explosion of birth, a feud between
leaves and air

Whirling and spinning of branches
and trees, pushing the air aside
a million leaves latching, teasing
reaching everywhere

In the hollow of the tree the bluebird
builds her nest that her family may rest
a worm comes out to play and when he sees
the leaves he quickly runs away

The flowers nod their heads and grin
as the sun sifts through the shade and
all this was going on while I
was sleeping!
