Thoughtful Thursday: A Change in the Wind

There is a change in the wind
the subtle aroma of spring
accompanied by a wind chill factor.

The oak tree in the court yard
is alive with leaves
it seems like just  yesterday
its branches were bare,
but the wind still feels
like snow.

Sparrows and pigeons congregate
under the oak tree
or on the roof,
waiting
for the change in the wind
that feels like spring.

I can feel
a change in the wind
the approach
of warmer weather
or is it rain
I smell?
