Signs Of Spring

Birds chirping in chorus:

A first sound of spring.

The rot of melting dog poop:

A first smell of spring.

The snow-melt running in the street:

A first sight of spring.

The warmth of the sun on my face:

A first feeling of spring.

The taste of maple syrup:

A first taste of spring.

My awareness of all these things:

A First sense of God each spring.
