Only for a Moment

In the warmth and softness of the April sky,

clouds gently move sometimes

covering the sun

as shadows descend

covering the cherry trees,

but only for a moment.

I Was Lifted Today

I was lifted today by the opening of the tulips to the sun,

and later the rain,

the beauty

in their vulnerability.

The Encouragement of Color

Inspired by spring and a new sense of hope,

our wordflow becomes stronger,

lifting us and filling our spirits

with the encouragement

of color.

It’s Always Good to Fall in Love

In March it’s ok to let your hair get blown all over the place,

tossed by the wind

and to relish a light spring rain,

and then smile as the sun begins to appear,

gently caressing your cheek,

and it’s always good to fall in love

in March, walking together

as the tulips begin their journey of color.

Yes in March, it’s ok,

in fact it’s very good indeed.

Seeds to the Soil

As seeds are to the soil, so are flowers to the heart,

and love grows creating

the person

we were always meant to be.

Life’s beginnings.

Within the Beauty

Within the beauty of our healing

our confidence will return

strengthened

we move forward

with our spirits

embracing the light.

It Was Very Good Indeed

And the Lord God saw that His children were discouraged, divided

and some confused, so He spoke into the soil, breathed

into the air, and called forth the rain. And soon

hope came displayed in green plants, with daffodils,

tulips, and even the great chorus of azaleas.

And smiles returned to all the people,

so God saw that it was good,

it was very good indeed.
