Bacchus ascendant

Spring has arrived at last
With southern winds of rejuvenation
Thawing frozen limbs and snow-caked hearts
Eyes open from months of slumber
To joyfully greet the sight of bare skin
Grey and white turn brown and green
People lounge in parks and cafés
And smiles turn brighter than the sun
Hope blossoms along with blooming flowers
Bacchus is ascendant

Laughter turns liquid like wine
And pours with the same speed
Desire and delight color our sight
Light of heart is light of feet
And the music of creation
And the rythm of life
Set an irresistable beat
And as eyes meet
The alignment of the dancing shifts
Bacchus is ascendant
