Spring In Winter

And where were you on that Saturday morning
Did you call in the chapel on your way to the church
Did you walk beneath the birch trees lined up
To guide the indifferent to follow the dearth

And did you pick daffodils or mow the first lawn
This dawn of the new ages this time of the fawn

Did you step smartly as if walking down the aisle
Did you forget hardly as you offered your smile
And on the next day were you late for the lark
Did you walk through the meadow like a walk in the park

Did you dress slovenly without a brush of the hair
Did you burn skin distracted by the flushing fun of the fair

And did you photograph roses to stake your February claim
Did you miss out the first part to help you forget her name
Did you find yourself peaceful in the silent bliss of peace
Or were you deceitful as you sought out further release
