As “Spring relates to today,
I see Spring to be
The beginning
Of a brief moment in time
When the season calls forth
New buds to come into the light
of the newly arising suns(sons)
being seated on the horizon
Called forth to… 
”Come fly with me”
As summoned by the gentle voicings
of my friend, the flurrying wind
who speaks to the word -
Begin!!

Amen, amen
Ruth

My beloved speaks and says to me, Rise up, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away.” (Song of Solomon 2:10)
