First a poem ...


So, the poem below :### **Whispers of Spring**, was intended to " mirror " the lyrics below from Jefferson Airplane , 1967


 Lyrics

The summer had inhaled and held its breath too longThe winter looked the same, as if it never had goneAnd through an open window where no curtain hungI saw youI saw youComin' back to me
One begins to read between the pages of a lookThe shape of sleepy music, and suddenly you're hookedThrough the rain upon the trees, the kisses on the runI saw youI saw youComin' back to me
You came to stay and live my wayScatter my love like leaves in the windYou always say you won't go awayBut I know what it always has beenIt always has been
A transparent dream beneath an occasional sighMost of the time I just let it go byNow I wish it hadn't begunI saw you, yes, I saw youComin' back to me
Strolling the hills overlooking the shoreI realized I've been there beforeThe shadow in the mist could have been anyoneI saw youI saw youComin' back to me
Small things like reasons are put in a jarWhatever happened to wishes wished upon a star?Was it just something that I made up for fun?I saw you, I saw you comin' back to me

### Themes and Imagery

The imagery of brown leaves and the transition into spring can be beautifully mirrored in the lyrics and melodies of these songs. They all evoke feelings of nostalgia, reflection, and the beauty of nature's cycles.



That sounds like a lovely idea! Here’s a poem about **brown leaves and snow in early spring**:

### **Whispers of Spring**


In the quiet hush of early spring,  

Where brown leaves linger, memories cling,  

A tapestry woven, both old and new,  

Beneath the soft blanket of melting snow's hue.


The trees stand bare, their branches outstretched,  

Cradling the whispers of life, still fetched,  

Each leaf a story, a tale of the past,  

In the gentle thaw, shadows are cast.


Snowflakes retreat, like dreams in the light,  

Revealing the earth, a canvas so bright,  

Yet still, the brown leaves, withered but proud,  

Hold secrets of winter, wrapped in a shroud.


As sunlight dances on thawing ground,  

A melody stirs, a sweet, hopeful sound,  

For every brown leaf that falls to the floor,  

A promise of green waits, just behind the door.


So let us embrace this fragile embrace,  

Of winter's last breath, and spring's warm grace,  

For in every ending, a new start will grow,  

In the heart of the season, where beauty will flow.
