Waiting for Spring

Thank goodness spring comes.  Every year.  
Something consistent is needed right now.  
What joy to see the tiny turned up noses
of the flower bulbs from fall 
just sniffing the air, ever so slightly out of the ground this past week.  
As if testing and asking the question 
is it safe to come out yet?  
Yes, by all means.  Yes.  Come fast.  
We are so very ready for winter to finally end. 
Come by bike, by train, by bus-- 
Use the trail 
we live right near the bakery.  
We are watching out the window 
we are keeping on our porch light.  
We are ready.  Come on in.
Don't even bother taking off your boots.  
Sit down, that chair is fine.  I have lots to tell you. So much took place while you were sleeping.
