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.
