Another spring appears.
Earth still here
altered beyond our grasp
but here still
with its robins and new hopes
in souls of love
longing so many generations
for the true world
carried within an enduring vision:
hands raised only to help and heal
bodies adored and glorified
hearts’ doors open wide
minds shining and joined
words and actions only of praise
Let us say to ourselves:
this spring is the season —
on this day
in this moment —
love’s vision is realized.
