Falling into Spring

Finally. 

Falling into the adirondack chair on the brick patio.

It seems like forever...

since last fall.

The fence is falling down,

The yard is littered with fallen branches, 

And fallen leaves.

And I could fall into despair about all that needs to be done.

But I can't.  I won't. 

Falling ever deeper into the chair.

I want to capture this moment.

Outside the air is fresh, 

and the sounds are telling me

To sit still, 

notice, 

breathe, 

and be. 

Falling into the spell of spring.
