Spring Cometh

Come with me to another spring
Let's run towards the sun
Push away all thoughts of winter
A new season is begun.

Green fields and singing birds
Are there beyond the town 
A peaceful place in which to view
Natures brand new season's gown.

With the coming of this time
Our soul rises with the light
Optimism in our mood begins
And the negatives all take flight.

Look no more behind you 
Push down sad thoughts and dread 
Come with me towards the spring 
And embrace good times ahead

A Gift from the Deserts

I love a warm wind
A friendly summer breeze
It wraps me in optimism
And puts me at ease.

It's so welcome when it comes
To city streets or country lane
To the deck of a heeling boat
Or a crowded beach in Spain.

The warm wind tans our paleness
And our faces take on a glow
Drab clothing is cast away
And stressed pulses begin to slow.

It's the deserts that give up their heat
To the drifting passing air
Which, carried over land and seas
Ensures we get a share.
