------Seasons of the Spirit------
rainy days aren't depressing
hardly ever after a drought
yet at the end of winter
after the warm spring splashes
encourages green grass and flowers
let the sun prevail
to warm the marrow within
and light up the corners
of a stale spirit
let the brightness
ignite spring cleaning of the soul
wiping away steaks and smudges
from tomorrow's visions
polishing steps of achievement
removing cobwebs from doorways of opportunity
let the sun shine
the flowers bloom
the spirit soar
