*

When long-buried dreams
sprout anew
and you know
they will come true

when snow and ice melt
to the sun’s kiss
and water drops gather
jumping down the hills
to play a brand new song
echoing in your heart
and you feel that
you are part
of the tune

when the dead
emerge from oblivion
and bloom
in your thoughts

when blossoms
are carried by the breeze
to adorn your bed,
when lilacs wrap you
in their scent
and you are ready
to share
in the sacred rite
of creation

when the skies
witness
your song of life
and the star beams
caress your face,
when Universe
rocks you in its womb
and you will know
the meaning of Home

when Love
shows you
all the colors
of the world
and you tremble inside
in awe
then you know
you are One
with All.

When finally
Spring has expanded
with all its power
of renewal
within you
then the awakening
has taken place.
Then you are Love
Then … you ARE...
LOVE.

Such a rich awakening of lovely thoughts~

What a beautifully illustrated ray of hope for Spring!  Your photo was breath-taking.  What type of flower is it and where is it native?  Is that hyacinth?

   This captured me:

when snow and ice melt
to the sun’s kiss
and water drops gather
jumping down the hills
to play a brand new song
echoing in your heart
and you feel that
you are part
of the tune

   Thanks for your continued positive outlook on things.  I enjoy reading your poetry and the kind responses you've given mine.  Take care, Margherita.

Thank you from my heart dear poet friends for your loving comments.

Dear Sadelite, the flower is the lilac - a close-up -, one of my favorite flowers as we had them in the garden when I was a child in Switzerland. I love their scent, there are also white lilacs.

    

Love, Margherita

Such fine writing and so very delicate,
each word seemed to float on it's own.

Loved the ending especially.

So pretty Margherita~  Hugs~
