All these signs of spring

Trees burst into blossom 
and birds dance on the wing
as happiness forgotten comes
with all these signs of spring.

I ride out under billowed skies
welcome the sun, rising
while April rains wash winter pains
away, at signs of spring.

Forget-me-nots and daisies
brighten all the hedgerow’s length:
with all these signs of spring return
renewed, my hope and strength.

A time to celebrate

I can’t help but love this time of year! I am very busy with publishing projects right now, including the hotly-anticipated Re-create and Celebrate from Cindy Georgakas. Nevertheless, the poetry rises to the surface, and I have to let it out sometimes…my drafts folder is overflowing, as is my grateful heart. Happy Spring to those in the Northern Hemisphere, and remember it is a beautiful world, wherever you find yourself.
