Resurgo

The way you embrace me, April,
this unsullied morning,
my stiffened body
steadily regains consciousness.

The way the birds perform a serenade,
my heart rediscovers
the romance
between Earth and Sun.

The way you bathe us, April,
your warm makes glaciers melt.

You entice the waters:
Come, let us be clouds again!

Let us be clouds then,
let us roam over coconut lines,
mangrove families.

Let us drift
with cobalt happiness.

This is sweet.

It's romantic and you look at nature as 'unsullied'. I want there to be more purity around, so instead of looking for it in humanity, your 'stiffened body', maybe I shall find it in nature.
I like how nature has a voice too, when they say they want to be clouds again.
Nature as pure, and naked.
The title, the desire to become what was before, really suits the poem. And I thought 'us' meant humanity at first, I think it does in the first stanza, but then it changes to mean nature. It means humanity can change to what we were before too- with mother nature in sublime purity.

I think in the first stanza, there is a word missing maybe, between 'morning' and 'my'.
And 'warm' could be 'warmth' but then that would spoil the sound effect.

I enjoyed it a lot.
