Today, April 1st unveiled the wonder of a spring day. Birds called to one another, singing their sweet songs. Clouds layered their billowy, flowing apperance above distant mountains and nature dusted earth with budding trees draped in white. All appeared to be peaceful and calm. The stormy weather the night before ushered in April's breaths of newness.
If I could touch the sky with its profound beauty, I might feel the hope that springtime brings and better understand how "the heart regrows hope". (Angie Weiland-Crosby)
spring's beauty unfolds
like blossoming petals
earth renews life

Join me during National Poetry Month as I navigate reality to find peace and feel the breath of spring renewing life.
Thank you Two Writing Teachers, a meeting place
for a world of reflective writers!
- My Opening Slice of Life for National Poetry Month -
Perhaps, this month I will be able to better navigate reality
during life's challenging times.
It's the being in the moment that creates at least temporary peace in the midst of the challenges. Sending good wishes your way.
ReplyDeleteOh Carol, I just caught up on your blog. I sighed as I read of your latest challenge, but mostly I wish I could wrap you in a big hug! Your words, as always, are beautiful. I put the Emily Dickinson quote in my notebook. Prayers and love and peace during this very challenging season, my friend!
ReplyDeleteCarol, the beauty of your words usher in a new month, a month filled with hope. Storms may pop up, but the promise of the beauty they bring always looms in the background. Wishing you peace, love, and beauty of this season as Easter approaches. As always, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Bob
ReplyDeleteCarol, I hope you get a month-long dose of hope, peace, and renewal. Your poem and post are lovely. I too want to "understand how the heart regrows hope." Lovely image by Weiland-Crosby.
