Spring begins that time of the year
When bulbs and perennials, begin to appear.
The first was an Iris, so very small,
Followed by tiny Daffodils, more tall.
Then came tall Daffodils, Hyacinths too,
With the scent that can over power you.
Waiting now for the Tulips to bloom
Pulling up colors to brighten the gloom,
As we recover from Winter, so readily
One of the worst, we ever did see.
Welcome back to the bursting of Spring;
Welcome back all birds, that sing.

Hyacinths
over powering scent
Sneezing

The road to that old miserable town
Is littered with all the shattered pieces,
Of broken hearts.
A love is lost; a friend passes
And again we say that all
The time in the World, matters not
For we are a frailness in this universe
That will not matter in the life
Of hate and division.
Leave us be, you most miserable wretch
For we need not your pettiness
Or hate of others.

Can you help me, relive the past
When days were long but didn't last?
As long as there was light to see,
Our parents would always let us be.
Having fun playing Kick the Can,
An exercise, as we ran and ran.
Running, chasing others, scurrying about
While listening for that loud shout
From parents, yelling, "It's time for home".

I expect there is a skill sublime
To watch my words fall into rhyme.
The words will appear, into my head
As I lay warm, within my bed.
I must arise early, before the dawn,
A need to write, while I yawn.
It is what I do, don't you see,
Though the clock shows quarter to three.

This is one of my all time favorite photos. It has won awards on Gurushots. This photo has special meaning to my family. Taken at my sisters gravesite. I had to capture a moment of beauty during a tough time.
