Spring, time to create
Renew faith in life, rebirth
And all its promise

Spring, time to believe
In the miracles, inhale
Perfume of life’s blooms

Spring, time to unfold
Choices, possibilities
One for each raindrop

Spring’s light, and shadows
Fall on some for the last time
Make way for the next

Earth and seasons turn
Plot gardens, burial plots
Cycles none escape

Baby grass springs new
Demands drink — dew, showers, tears
Nature’s thirst cares not
