Child of Spring

From the silence that surrounds us In the stretching of the day Birdsong blooms in all directions As we drift along toward may Seeing things you never noticed More and more catching your eyes In pixelated clouds, the birds Merge and claim the empty sky But have you found your place in this? Are you smothered by the sudden stillness? Have you found a way through this? Child, child, child of spring The hours gathered there before you One by one, they fade away While the earth repeats the old rotation And we retrace our steps again We do our best to fill the spaces Closing up a life-sized hole Waking up to a brand-new world Where we have become invisible But have you found your place in this? Are you smothered by the sudden stillness? Have you found a way through this? Child, child, child of spring
