Spring
He had spent his forty days in the desert.
He wanted a drink of water
and wine.
She warned him that spring brought new growth
and change.
She counseled caution.
She spoke the words of winter,
But, she moved with the body of spring.
He wanted her
with the sizzle of a summer sun.
Their voices danced quietly,
the dance of lovers.
He was patient.
But, he wanted the lightning
and the thunderstorm.
he waited for the coming of the rosebud.
