This is our spring

This is our spring
        out of season
blossom on the cherry tree
        when there should be snow
daffodils basking
        in the late December sun
This is our spring
        out of season
the unexpected warmth
        of your body
of your kisses
        of your words
the passion
         and the easy mesh of limbs
the flowering of love
        when least expected
This is our spring
        out of season
