Once the Forsythia

Once the forsythia
comes shouting out,
through its chorus of little trumpets
the rest of spring barrels in quickly
with leaves and blooms in tow.
No wonder these cadmium heralds
are so welcome, clamoring noisily
against the bare sticks and branches,
crashing loudly against the blue sky,
making a Swedish flag of the world.
Next in the parade will proceed
warm days, unfolding growth,
and flourishing joy.
Alleluia.

I work to amplify good wherever I find it. I love color, texture, beauty, great ideas, nature, metaphor, deliciousness, genuine spirituality, and exploring new territory. I encourage authenticity, nurture creativity, champion sustainability, promote peace, and hope to foster a new renaissance where we all are free to be our most fulfilled, multifaceted, and terrific selves.
