Unstoppable Spring

Spring thrusts her verve

Inserting her will be done

Unfurling all the curling up

Whirling all the Wild things

Ruffling even the heaviest of winter blankets

Bursting all the needs of seeds

Blooming all the pods of possibilities

Opening even the tightest fists of winter

Spring energizes her vitality

Shaking the dry bones of sticks

Making rattles into birdsong

Quickening all our heartbeats

Breathing new enthusiasm to begin again

Birthing all the new life of tomorrow

Spring thrusts her verve

Inserting her will be done

An Unstoppable Spring—

Inviting each and every one of us

Frog, monarch, maple, bee,

Mallard, camilla, you and me

to participate in the dynamic ease

The squeeze and release of

Saying yes again to Life, to Love

May Spring blow kisses upon the earth

May everyone everywhere know they are loved

Welcome Spring!
