Long time friend Dedan Gills has been writing poetry for some time. In 2008 he brightened our blog with his poem welcoming the season of Spring, from the Northern California coast of his retreat home.
A lot of traveling, and the co-founding of Growing a Global Heart (http://growingaglobalheart.weebly.com/) with his wife Belvie Rooks meant that we didn't receive a Spring poem in 2009. However, fortunately for us, he didn't forget us this year.
Enjoy these two poems he's written celebrating Spring 2010. The first poem, was written as the season was just making it's appearance. Stirred by all that the season arouses within Life, the second poem reflects Dedan's primal response.
We sincerely thank Dedan, for sharing these with us. Do visit the website of Growing a Global Heart, and learn of the efforts to foster healing work in our world that the organization promotes.

Born of the dark of winter’s gloom
To dazzle naked tree into bloom
To kiss the raindrops into morning dew
To change the old into life anew
To wake the urge of seasons desire
To warm the days with sun’s distant fire
Gentle winds the songbirds sing
Beautiful colors all shades of green
I dance in the shadows and joys of Spring

SEASON EROTIQUE
From the dead of Winter’s gloom
Oh Spring my elusive beauty
You come to me cloaked in gossamer gowns of flowing pink and white blossoms swirling in the exuberant winds of March
Shaking loose the pedals of my desire revealing your succulent and nubile nipples swollen with the eager craving
To touch the blissful throb of my rising joy once more.
Bejeweled in the dazzling radiance of morning dew
As swift as the robin’s wing
And sudden as the gentle kiss from the lips of Aprils breeze
You arrive to stun my longing heart with your season’s desire.
The lone wolf howls its solemn cry in the glow of the pale of the May moon rise
As you spread the thighs of your splendor ravishing my very soul with dancing flames of passion and gentle
sighs of raging fire.
Climaxed by the searing heat of summer
That once again has come to steal the mystic beauty of my ephemeral love away
I weep my annual song of sadness in the shadow of Autumn’s languid days
As the harvest of my deferred dreams of you dissipate into the bleak wisdom of Winter’s sonorous and frosty snore.
With each dark day my heart goes yearning with thoughts of you Once more returning
As the years pass by the winds grow colder
My bones now weak as I grow older
Each year you come your kiss so sweet forever younger
Each time we meet my love for you…Grows ever stronger
