Spring’s reassurance
Spring arrives with a grand flourish
Jasmine bushes burst into bloom
Perfuming the air, nourishing the mind
Creating an aura of divine
Yet, her mind lags behind
Vines twist and tangle,
thick as can be
even the old wicker fence
sprouts new green leaves
Yet, her mind lies infertile
She mutters, “Unfair!
Nature runs wild.
Even bald trees regrow
After a while!”
Why has her mind died?
Spring, with a knowing smile, replies…
“Be kind to yourself, dear one.
Just like the bloom waits for morning's light,
You, too, will blossom,
When the time is right”.
