hit by a poem

spring time

waiting for the lady in the mountains whose footsteps reveal the greenery vibrancy  underneath and from the earth whose voice echoes against rock and through canyons who calls across distances to awaken  who stirs the blood with eyes like fire who welcomes weary travelers with springs of water who points the way and shows how…
