Spring I Relish Your Shine

Inspired by : "I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart). I am never without it." E.E. Cummings Placed second in : A-Types of Forms Poetry Contest Sponsored by Constance La France Spring I Relish Your Shine Sweet shining spring, season of birth Perfusing life and scent to plants Restoring joy and mirth on earth, I relish your whispering chant Near rivers, forests and gardens Garlanded with flowers for men. In the very depth of my heart Rests the sparkling heart of your shine Ever since your charm was an art, Lingering in the vestige of time, Igniting the expanse of the space Shimmering as season sublime Heralding prime of life apace, Yet unwilling to quit pristine Outputs of your own elegance Under cover of your brilliance, Resplendent with your radiance. Seduced by your shining splendour, Here let me carve some humble words In memory of your wonder, Never without flowers and birds Endlessly serving as stewards.
