When the Air Finally Lets Go

When the air finally lets go, 

it whispers secrets in soft sighs

of thawing Earth and blooming hope, 

where winter’s hush gently dies. 

 

The air shifts, 

a breeze sweeps, 

no longer sharp and bitter, 

but tender and warm. 

The breeze carries a melody of rebirth, 

swirling through thawing fields and budding branches 

a tender reminder that life persists. 

 

You open the window for the first time in months, 

shedding the rough fur coat burdening you

and welcoming the inviting breeze in,

it hugs your skin like an old friend. 

Spring whispers softly, and you are finally home.

    I am a fox.

    I run in the forest with my furry friends.

    my tail bouncing,

    you choose the coldest seat in the class

    next to the tall pretty girl

    with a gleaming smile and long, straight flowing hair.

    taking one good look at her you already know her story.
