My Spring

 

Spring, the season of birth, when everything is new. It was spring then, when I followed her, when she asked me the fatal question, “Will you become human for me, and live with me as my husband?”

 

Then, with the flight of an arrow, my spring plunged into winter. I can remember its bite; the pain that spread from my chest before turning me numb. Everything was black that winter, with no light at the end to guide me.

 

Dawn broke, shimmering and pink. A warmth I felt long before I saw. It reached out to me, chasing away the numbness and pain of the winter. My spring returned to me.
