Echoes of Spring

By Moriah Simonowich

In beauty as elegant as a pearl,

Another day crisply unfurls.

From God’s treasure house of gems

Come chill March winds,

Echoing the season of spring;

They whirl, twirl, and ring.

Clouds in transparent white wisps

Move about in drifts—

Sails billowing on a sea of blue;

In a sky of clearest hue.

Accompanied by swaying emerald pines,

All the trees are inclined

To dance as if to say:

My, what a brisk, breezy day.

Some branches bear twigs,

Others tender green sprigs;

But their mutual delight

Is contagious and sunny and bright!

Echoes of spring,

They whirl, twirl, and ring.

Then, vanishing in a flash,

The day is passed.

Yet, this handiwork of Wisdom ageless, Divine,

Remains etched vividly upon my mind.

With a loveliness cascading and true,

He showers these gifts to be gathered by me, and you.

Echoes of spring

Are moments that are rapidly fading;

So, quick! Bundle them up while they are young

And the season’s song is still being sung.
