Spring Comes As It Does Each Year

On a Sunday afternoon ramble

Along the pathway in Rocky

Birds are singing, the sun is shining

Snow lingers as the melt begins

All that has slumbered during Winter’s darkness awaits

I can see the beginnings of new life

As the days get longer

As the sun shines longer

I am reminded of resurrection

Out of the darkness comes light

Comes a light which cannot be overcome

The Mountain Bluebirds sing and frolic

This is Colorado in Springtime

While we know more snow will likely come

Spring is beckoning to us

Light and Life and Newness

Winter will lose its grip

Until the seasons turn once more

In the rhythmic circle and cycle of life

But for now, we enjoy the singing of the birds

We enjoy the Creeks and Rivers sweeping away Winter’s ice

Spring comes as it does each year

With its reminder of new life and light
