Is this the year of your spring?
Will you bloom how you envisioned?
Or will flowers and vines
wrap around a new reality?
This winter has been long
Thank God you can see through ice
There’s a garden on the other side
if you could just stay warm.
Close your eyes
You can smell the impending burst
of a psychedelic sunshower
of verdant growth renewed.
Maybe this time around,
you’ll soar higher than the redwoods
Float like a hummingbird midair
before diving into blue depths
even surprising to you.
Perhaps this is the year of your spring.
