SPRING'S UNFOLDING by IRENE ARCHER

First Line: EVERYTHING IS TENDER IN THE SPRING
Last Line: RUNS WITH WET, SWEET LIPS THROUGH SILVER RAIN.
Subject(s): SPRING;
Everything is tender in the spring,
Opening bud, and moist unfolding wing,
Blue-pink carpets, yellow daffodil,
And trees of blossoms swaying on a hill,
These ... and a misty coolness in the sky
Far away where grey-green sunsets lie.
Shadows dance among the dappled birch,
And in the forest's dimly lighted church.

Love ... unsandaled ... in ecstatic pain
Runs with wet, sweet lips through silver rain.
