Second Spring

It is time to let my obstacles drop into the ground 

As they decompose into the soil… 

Let the roots of a resilient flower grow into this new space

Let the roots grow healthier and stronger each day

Enabling their flower to bloom

Let violins, flutes, and a harp welcome all 

Let the summer’s rain nourish 

Let the sun rise in a magnificent blue sky

Let myself feel its music

And sing its sweet melodies

As I draw in its intoxicating aroma 

Let myself grow

Spying a turkey vulture gliding effortlessly forming graceful circles in the sky today 

I let it evolve with a higher sense of freedom into an eagle 

I can now see it transforming into a dove sharing glorious feelings of peace everywhere 

At times my legs may be weary

My hands may grow tired

My head may feel tense

But my heart she is my only true path 

Our heavenly bodies illuminate my way

As I walk forward I am engulfed in…

A greater sense of love for myself as well as others

A higher feeling of peace within and throughout

Let all obstacles become opportunities for a greater growth within 

And I will shine bright and bloom my second bloom 

And it shall become our second spring
