The month that we expect
Nature to spring all around
Birds start reappearing chirping
To wake nature frozen in time
While the Ides of March comes up from behind
To keep us distracted and on our toes
But nature takes no part in the Ides
She is too busy swirling the remaining
Effects of winter to remind us
Spring may be here but it is not fully sprung
Patience, patience, patience spring will come
All in the right time when all is in line
It has nothing to do with the lions and lambs
It has everything to do with environmental
Contaminants being hurled at nature that
Make her keep reeling over and over
For clean air, clean water, clean earth
Renewing itself before presenting itself
Bringing spring in quiet reverence.
