In the past few weeks…
Â
Trees have grown,
gardens are in bloom.
Mother Nature is proud
of the bounty of her womb.
Â
In the past few weeks…
Â
How have I fared?
How have I grown?
What fresh ideas have sprouted in me?
What new beauty have I sown?
Â
In the past few weeks…
Â
Trees are taller and wider,
confident in their plume.
Buds have pushed through their skin,
gently spreading their perfume.
Â
In the past few weeks…
Â
What wider perspectives have I explored?
How am I looking at the world anew?
What boundaries have I overcome?
What’s richer in my worldview?
Â
Â
Nature would not revertÂ
to where it was a few  weeks ago.
Then why am I holding on to my past
not wanting to let my old normal go?
