The passing spring

The passing spring
Birds mourn,
Fishes weep
With tearful eyes.

Sparrow singing



Sparrow singing--
its tiny mouth
open.

...Today
among the scent
of new mango blossoms,

amid the rustling notes
of fresh stems bursting forth,

under the nectar-sprinkled moon rays
in the sky
in tearful delight,

by whose touch am I delighted
in this fragrance-laden agitated breeze?

Today spring is awake at the door,
in your veiled, shy life
please don't frustrate her.

Open up the petals of your heart today,
Forget today who is Yours,
who is not.

Put out your scent in waves into the sky
that is already resounding with songs...

Rabindranath Tagore

We are all longing for spring,
and now it is almost here.

All things shall melt and turn into songs when Spring comes. Even the stars, the vast snowflakes that fall slowly upon the larger fields, shall melt into spring streams. When the sun of His face shall rise above the wider horizon, then what frozen symmetry would not turn into liquid melody? And who among you would not be the cup-bearer to the myrtle and the laurel?

Khalil Gibran

I am cert6ainly waiting for spring.
It is still quite cold here.

Coming back --
so many pathways
through the spring grass.

What a strange thing
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.

Spring is here, but both Inda and yoko are right, it is still quite cold here.
I have seen birds that were not here during the winter, so that is a good sign that spring cannot be far away.

Love,
Vicky 2Hearts

Dear friends, I think that spring is finally here.

Love, Inda

Rumi

This is what I see
The world is green,
and everywhere there is a garden.
I see your face,
luminous like a rose,
I see you happy,
You are laughing
Everywhere there is a gem,
inflamed from the Beloved's mine.
Everywhere there is a soul,
connected to anothe soul.

Thank you Inda for the adorable picture.
Spring certainly is a bit slow in coming this year.I am hearing a lot more birds singing, and some spring flowers are opening up now.We have a lot of rain this year, but that will make everything green and fresh looking.

Love,
Vicky 2Hearts

I love that little squirrel as well.
I hope that spring is finally here and that we don't suddenly get plunged into extreme summer heat.

Spring comes on the World -- by Emily Dickinson


Spring comes on the World --
I sight the Aprils --
Hueless to me until thou come
As, till the Bee
Blossoms stand negative,
Touched to Conditions
By a Hum.

Thank you for bringing back the spring post yoko.
We have had a lot of rain here, and it has been quite cool. The tulips are doing well since it has not been too hot. We have been waiting for spring such a long time.

Love,
Vicky 2Hearts

Spring is truly here. Everything is blooming. The lilacs are almost finished, but enjoy their scent as long as they are here.

Love, Inda
