Days Growing Longer Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Tongues of the forest will soon awake
With the days growing longer to new spring
And the hours of the sunrise again sing
When winter's ice is released from the lake
Soon rays will explode to bright appearance
Giving silences a voice through the night
And darkness will be blue diamonds of light
In optimistic moods and in clearance

Each tide comes again with new season
Every hour shall become again fresh
Rising to the living toward complete
And the old ways to fall on its reason
With all the yesterdays they did enmesh
In everything previous they did meet
