“Spring is nature’s way of saying ‘Let’s party!” – Robin Williams
“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.” – Pablo Neruda
“Spring has returned. The earth is like a child that knows poems.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke

L’esprit se éveille – the spirit wakens
The distance between
Today – l’printemps
Now can be measured
In heartbeats
Almond blossoms
Like puffs of pink and white
Snow filling out branches
Greying clouds play tag
In azure skies
Hiding the sunlight
Like children who have stolen
Cookies from the cooling rack
Hyacinthus; rose, bleu, blanche
Mon esprit se réveille
My hunger immense
The waters of the cascade
Tumble into turquoise waters
I climb out of grey woolen
Despair and reach for the sun

Bisous,
Léa
