I long for the yellows
losing myself in a mustard meadow
a patch of gold in the natural quilt
   strewn over the hills
an ocean of carefree memories
no worry of mudstained jeans
   or wind-mussed hair
chasing the start of something new,
   something as beautiful
as weeds growing in a sun-washed field.

I miss the whites
being invigorated by paper-white, 
   paper-thin petals
fragile messengers brightening
  frosted mornings
aromas of ice-flowers that warm a static home
  fresh laundry and strong coffee
  the smoke of a wood burning stove
the arrival of sun as a new day begins

I desire the pinks
the hearts blooming on bare branches
a romantic snowfall blanket
   as individual petals float down
   with the grace of dainty dancers
a table of tea 
guests dressed in lace
lullabies of love and light kisses
  sprinkled on flushed cheeks
beneath forgotten trees
  holding the buds of abandoned dreams

I need the greens
the light tinge that deepens
   a combination of sun and showers
an earthy rebirth 
erasing harsh mistakes of the cold

I want my Spring back
my pallet of colors
  mixed and blackened
along with new beginnings
that are continually lost
with seasonal changes.
