Life Has Begun
Virginia Salter

first day of spring
has taken wing
old Sol is daring with each ray

yes, you, oh, slacker
I challenge you
come away from cyber view

lift up the blinds
throw open sash
lift up your heart; take out the trash

scrub windows bright
let in the light
dance the rite of spring tonight

pirouette
in shining gleam
as beams flow through in wondrous streams

awaken all within
a renewed life to spin

with silken threads both strong and tender
a sweetened hour to gently render

allow new rhythms take their hold
in confidence go forward, bold

shrink not again into the shadows
but with new life bud as the willows

for spring is here for all, dear one
break forth with power, life has begun!

The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book.
