Spring is Here

It's the time of the year,

when the garden becomes a rainbow,

flowers of all colors blooming,

I have roses, daffodils, sunflowers,

sweet pea, hollyhock, poppy

larkspur, coreopsis, lupine,

irises, nasturtiums, calendulas,

star jasmine, arugula, tulips.

It's the time of the year,

when the garden becomes a concert

of music,

sung by sparrows and finches.

It's the time of the year,

when I see bees, ladybugs,

butterflies too.

Leaves are green again,

It's spring, when everything

comes alive.

I enjoy the visual feast,

take in the fragrance,

listen to the birds,

in slow pace,

with mindfulness,

and gratitude

for I know, it will not last.
