By a riverbank
Let's sit a while
Inhale springs peaceful breath
Petals unfolding in their own time
Allowing beauty and peace to bloom
Instead of the horrors of war.
In times of darkness
That wound us deeply
Find the light of this season
To make your heart sing
Find solace in gardens
Of love and life.
As winter waves goodbye
Springtime starts anew
And mother nature awakens
Her scent seeping into our days
Releasing her healing balms
Of rich nurturing warmth.
Enabling our souls
To fuel the soil
Of unity and rebirth
Releasing the heartache
That shadows and consumes
Offers springs gentle embrace.
