Firefall

False Spring

You reappeared 
Like the first the Spring Day 
After a long dark Winter
Unexpected 
Yet welcome
Stirring life into my conscious soul 

Your smile
Brighter than the morning sun
Shining down on me 
Making everything seem 
Alive 
Warming me 
 
I breathed you in deep
Like fresh air 
Filling my lungs
Crisp, clean, delicious
Resurrecting life
Into forgotten memories

You whispered words of love
Like the music of songbirds
A joyous symphony
Full of pulsing energy 
Threatening to carry me away

But you were a false Spring 
Promises fading 
Like breath on the icy winter wind 
My hopes and dreams 
Once again safely buried 
Beneath a blanket of ice and snow
