All things interesting …

Momentous it is when the old is unlocked
To become the new
Like the spring taking on a dark dull winter
The dark dull winter that made you stronger
The waiting sort-of winter
The hanging sort-of winter
The long, everlasting sort-of winter
The winter that realised that it has to leave
Stay it should not any more
For it has done its time
For another land waits for it in preparation
In hibernation.
The squirrels, the mice, the bunnies,
The small ones wait for it
To be given a chance again to fill the chasm.
To sleep, get a rest and strengthen in the cold and deprivation.

Now there is a spring in the air
A lilt in the heart
A song in the mind
A sun in the morning
No longing within
A peace of me in every piece
That I create or color
In every bloom
In every leaf that sprouts
In squirrels, mice, bunnies and other rodents
As they unfold themselves , stretch and scamper about
Peep out of their holes
Enjoy their first green nibbles
And taste the joy of bright shiny days
And hopeful nights.

Leap up to catch the sunshine
In your heart
Warm up the days and cram up the nights
Cram up the days and cram up the nights
Neither holed-up , nor held back
Be yourself, be your own
Be true and that which is you
From outside and within.

Be a person of strength and forbearance
Be a reverie of dreamers
Someone who can stand green or bare, in stark and rare
In leaf or flower, in fruit or tower
Tall and steadfast.
Roots firmly within.
Be you.
