Watching the greening

I have been watching the greening
Passively observing the world around me
As the buds timidly peek from the tip of tree limbs
Actively observing the same in my own life
Barren and brown for a long and lonely March
I'd stopped hoping my spring would come
Despite the hints dropped along the way


But April came with warmer weather
Sunshine so bright I can't open my eyes
Where confessions bloom alongside crocus
The color thrown a eureka moment
And I can't stop smiling
Or the flow of happy tears


I waited so long
In a winter that wouldn't end
That I became it
I shuttered the windows
Locked the doors
Took in the welcome mat
Froze in place
Knowing the only guest I wanted was you
Not knowing if you'd ever ring the bell


I still can't believe the chime
Or the green warmth you bear
Because it's still only April
The killing frost can still come
But I hope you'll stay
