Season of Rebirth


as the ice melts away and the branches start to freely breathe
the earth awakens
as the bulbs break through the dirt and water slowly trickles
the earth awakens

feet grip the stirring ground
eyes spy the growing tulips
faces embrace the energy of the wind
and the rain washes away the stale winter mood

walk amongst the trees as the weeping willow waves
signs of Spring awaken
walk along the river and she flows with human pace
signs of Spring awaken

hibernation goes to rest
trees yawn and stretch out buds of freshness
lakes start to sway and wade and splash
and the sun stays awake long enough to greet the moon

it's the time of year to shed stagnant skin
to break the shell of frozen consciousness
to un-mask stunning beauty
to reveal

as the season transforms and the birds start to sing
our sleepy souls awaken
as the light returns and we inhale gratefulness
our sleepy souls awaken

may we plant seeds of gentle kindness in our inner soil
sprout seedlings of peace that grow leaves of acceptance
grow deep roots of strength with kindred tenderness
let the petals of universal rebirth blossom
and flourish in the widespread color that is sown
Rebirth
