RECURRENCE, by                    
First Line: You may stir from your winter slumber now
Last Line: Spring is here.
Subject(s): Spring


You may stir from your winter slumber now,
(Even as images I thought dead
Now stir in my mind with the new awakening)
The biting sting is from the air
And skies are blue and fair.

Surely you must feel the coming-on of spring,
Even in your bed
Among the dead.

Return of the season brings ever to me nostalgia --
(Memories of springs
When we shared dreams of all young things!)

Sleep lightly, dear,
Spring is here.
