Ostara Rising

by Suki Moyne

Le Printemps 2She comes like a breath of fresh air

And you cannot help but fill your lungs.

She comes like the shoot rising upward

And you cannot help but lift your eyes to the sky.

She comes like the flower bursting forth

And you cannot help but laugh in delight.

She comes like the urge to dance

And you cannot help but spread your arms wide.

She comes like the first warm rains

And you cannot help but cry tears of joy.

She comes like the scent of all beginnings

And you cannot help but open your heart.
