The flowers of spring have risen once more.
They have painted a picture outside of my door.
The colors are brilliant, the aroma sublime.
The ritual of life and the passage of time.
Let me bask in the sunshine and soak up the heat.
The smells of spring mornings can never be beat.
It's a trip through the cosmos that lifts me with ease.
The winds play a song in the evergreen trees.
The world is a hammock that gently does sway.
It soothes and relaxes my troubles away.
As I walk through the gardens of life where I live.
We are lucky to get much more than we give.
The ice-plant has blossomed on this wonderful day.
It sparkles and shimmers in its own special way.
It has filled up the meadows and grows next to the trees.
A breakfast from nature for birds and the bees.
It's May Day once more, celebrate Mother Earth.
Relish the wonders and place of our birth.
Nurture and cherish the beauty around.
For nothing that's better will ever be found.~Jay Olson
