something to smile about
Nobody noticed the creeping phlox
as it bloomed in petals of periwinkle,
the lively myrtles were ignored in a rising wave of
panic!
Loud and swift, it descended upon us,
doors closing,
lights going out...
I am cautious.
I am careful.
I delight in the crocus's popping up,
bringing a little color
to this kind of somber time.
I dream of the cherry trees flowering,
of the smell of lilacs
and the forsythia beaming all sunny.
I take a deep breath and don't panic.
I won't let this overshadow the beauty of Spring.
