The Renewal
Bright green leaves
unfurl
as blades of grass
reach skyward
towards shining sun
and brightening sky
as what was once
gold and brown
begins to fill
with color
once more.

Imagination’s Playground
Flying pigs
and running rabbits
fish chasing fish
and little trumpets
on the grass
we make up stories
as we stare
at blue expanse
dotted
with the characters
of the stories
we tell

Meadow Giggles
Bright yellow
greetings
spot the green
with open invitations
to lie down
among the blades
and listen
to the whispers
of gossiping flowers
before winds of change
lift delicate
eager tufts
to float away

Eager
Pops of pink
and tender greens
roiling skies
and sunshine beams
spring has come
to warm the air
as softened earth
stirs with life
no longer willing
to wait
patient and still
but instead eager
to spill forth
exuberant abundance

Blue Sky Adventures
Johnny Cash
had riders
and Dumbo
had pink elephants
but for today
let’s explore the sky
among
bright blue hues
on the back
of a
long legged camel
while the faint
ghosts of jellyfish
float by

Spring Lilacs
Fragrant blooms
open wide
from tiny buds
to delicate flowers
vibrant
and brave
with shining colors
to welcome spring
and encourage
the bees
to awaken
from slumber
and explore
yellow offerings.
