Scents of Spring

I sleep tonight on sun-dried sheets, my dreams intoxicated by the scent





Of wild waters loosed from icy grip,




Of mountains shed of snow-white duvets,




Of birch trees red with running sap,




Of infant leaves curled 'gainst night chill.




And while I sleep on scented sheets, the land slowly awakens.
