Soul: Spirit's Springtime

A new day has dawned,
Now is the time for renewal
The weary may have yawned
They now work to polish each jewel

The blossoming tree
And the wilting flower
Abide in harmony
Shaded by the same tower

Those that seek direction
Look within first
And find truth in reflection
For more, they thirst

Roots spread out and deep
Into that which grounds them
Quenched and nourished, clarity they reap
Once a stone, now seemingly a gem

And whilst they were turned within, with care
The sun still shone radiantly down
And although that flower may not have been aware
It's petals no longer did frown

To harvest, one must sew
A crop so fruitful, one may find
To reap, one must hoe
Must love, be patient and kind.

Mind: Spring into Action

A blank piece of paper
Bright crayons within grasp
Images crisp and clear
A mind does clasp

A new day, a new dawn
Sky blue, grass green
Signs of birth and renewal
A vibrant scene

A bird's tweet at dawn
Children playing in the playground
Tunes energetic and upbeat
A hopeful and optimistic sound

A kite in the sky, a ball on the field
Bare feet brushing through grass
Tokens of joy and recreation
A smirk, a smile, some sass

A mother fills her pot with plants
Fathers tune up bikes and get out tools
Emblems of love and anticipation
A warmth felt as the wind cools

A farmer prepares for the annual yield
Accountants plan and forecast
Efforts intense and concentrated
A fish is caught if the line is well cast

A list of goals and steps to take
Excitement gleaming in eyes
Skills honed and strengthened
A vision of soaring through skies
