The Long Popularity Contest

Most of what goes on in spring,
If you live somewhere where spring
Happens, isn’t sun and stars,

The days longer and warmer,
Etc. Those are just
More facts that lives adapt to,

Conditions with pros and cons.
Spring is the adaptation,
Symphonies of strategies

Life has evolved due to those
Facts of warm days and so forth.
Excited activities,

Budding, greening, building nests,
To years as tides are to days,
Heartbeats to breaths, crests to waves,

Surges of energy honed
By incessant circumstance--
This effervescence was culled.

It isn’t trying to win,
Although it seems like one long
Popularity contest.
