Breath of Spring

At opening door
was greeted this morn
with a breath of spring,
 air soft and warm.

Abruptly  gone,
cold stinging blasts
and snow  retreats,
forgotten fast.

I heard flies buzz,
birds chirp and trill,
saluting this day
so balmy and still.

The air smelled rich
of soil and rain,
it’s  kind caress
m’amour  became.
