spring arrives without warning;
suddenly the sun stays out till six
and rises before you in the morning,
the cherry blossoms bloom overnight
and each rain brings more flowers,
tulips, daffodils, lavender popping up
until the world is colorful again.
the birds sing, soaring among
the bees and butterflies hunting nectar,
your gloves and scarves are stored
in a drawer till next november.
spring appears seemingly all at once,
an abrupt beginning to
a graceful, giving season.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
