Once upon a time,
I would hear people speak of Spring Fever and thought WTF?
But then...
On a balmy day (feeling as if lifetimes ago),
not too long together with my love,
the atmosphere rested heavy on my shoulders,
as if Atlas bearing the Earth,
a restlessness arose from my core.
The desire to ride the steed of dreams was overwhelming.
Duty and responsibility barely held me at bay.
Never forgotten this soul's urge.
Unannounced, unexpected, and haunting,
these winds of change have returned again & again,
to caress and sing their siren song of seduction to me,
igniting times of great restlessness
Now, especially as of late,
they have again returned but things are different.
I have discovered that the tethers
that held me in times past have aged, and,
with little effort and a lot of faith will simply fall away.
This time I very well may dance the dervish of change
with these familiar spirits
