My God, tonight's sky is forever clear. Finally after what I thought to be an endless winter morphing into the next ice age, spring is finally showing us her blushing beauty! No longer do I walk the streets at night and fear that my knees will end up torn and bloody after a haste and losing match starring gravity and friction versus my boots and the shaky legs that support them upon the icy roads. Although subtle, the first hints of spring are not hard to miss. Finally we are reunited with our friends Orion and Taurus as they cast character visions of ourselves on the melting snow. The air smells of spring. That taste and smell of a fresh circulating breeze cooked in sunshine with a hint of freedom. I even heard the snow flakes talking amongst themselves bitterly, about their quick coming spring vacations and how they will be forced to travel under the frozen dirt staying in the roots of the wild flowers and then hiding away in the petals until the coming of next winter. Today the sun was shining. Actually shining! Not just struggling to shine behind the thick smog of winter clouds, but shining bright in the clear sky with no foes to stop it. I am unusually antsy with anticipation of spring this year. Not because spring brings the annual spring cleaning of skeletons in closets and a fresh new space to fill that closet back up, (although it is a plus), but because it brings new experiences. New smells, new sounds and new sights, which I with a heart rotting from apathy have longed for the past 3 months. Spring brings inspiration, and I can not contain my excitement! Tonight I found myself shouting jubilant nonsense into the starry sky, because if those could hear as far as I could see, (Which at the time I believed they could.) my voice could be heard for miles around. Maybe that way others would become just as zealous about the upcoming season as I am. Or they could just leave the humdrum warmth of their homes to take a look at the sky because my God, tonight it is forever clear!
