April Piece

I love this blog! Every post is written artfully and tenderly. The author is as wonderful, as his words. I can not keep this secret, for we ought to let others know, when we find something good.

Armchair Zen

Noni among the flowers

Such newfound joy I behold each year
When April’s song bends my ear.
The robins’ whistle by the fence,
The gobble of the turkey thence.
The warblers chatter, the swallows dart
In living, breathing, springing art.

From Earth rises all manner of things,
As if for the deaf April also sings.
First crocuses, Colt’s Foot and shad will bloom,
Then tulips and daffodils vie for room.
Trees, still leafless, seem eager and greener,
As if taking cues from the grass’s demeanor.

The sky looks bluer, the clouds fly higher,
The sun warms our face like the past winter’s fire.
The wind brings with it no freezing strife,
But the essence of growth, the breath of life.
As each day grows longer ‘tween end and start,
So, too, warms and grows hope in the heart.

Slainte,

Paz

  1. Oh so lovely, both the words and the images it brings to mind. Spring is coming, even in northern states. And not a minute too soon. This period of rebirth is such a comfort during these terrible times.
