Simplicity in easy things
And peace in the flutter of the leaves
Spring has sprung
The sun kisses my cheeks
Worries fall from my shoulders

How I revel in the blossom
The bloom and the growth
The persistence and perseverance
Season after season
Century after century
They continue to flourish

With the warmth comes an comforting gratitude
I’m not jealous of the flowers
I am taking a leaf out of their book
Admiring their petals
Accepting that their growth
Doesn’t make mine less phenomenal
In fact
I’m glad we weathered these seasons together
An alikeness in nature
