When days are dark
I dream of Spring
of fields lush
with songbirds singing
trees in bloom
and flowers swaying
A chorus with voice aplenty
leaving my cave
to step in time
with their symphony
I ponder
If nature’s reborn
refreshed and renewed
after dormant buried months
why could I not do
the same?

Past Lives
War made for odd couples. To Private Jim Mclellan, Sepp seemed a good man; better at least than some of the monsters he heard stories of deeper into the Reich. Real monsters. This Sepp almost reminded Jim of his uncle; the one from Wisconsin he met a few times at Weddings.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

This felt like drifting through your thoughts, Matthew - brilliant!
I think we emerge anew along with nature every season. Love the theme of renewal here.
Well-wrought! All life moves in cycles, and those who are patient with nature will find nature the beneficent mother rather than the scolding hag!
Very refreshing and enlightening. Love it.
2 birds, 1 stone, great entry for both challenges <3
A lovely breath of fresh air! Why not do the same, indeed!
A delightfully uplifting poem😊.
This felt good and reassuring. Nice entry to both!
WOA, thus packed a punch in the end, wasn’t expecting that. Great job!
Wonderful take on spring and renewal
Just a lovely little poem (assuming you take the ending as hopeful)
