O after Winter comes the Spring!
All bursting forth in brilliant song,
And carrying our hearts along,
It lifts us to inspired things!
We must not to a season cling,
But flow with each one in our stride
And feel their qualities inside,
That we may fuller, wiser grow
And through the seasons learn to show
The Light of Universal Mind!

Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 43: (SPRING) in the A rhyme line.
The earth is home to many lives!
They’re seen as “other,” not as one;
We give our love to few besides.
The earth is home to many lives!
The Universe for all provides
Enough to see Its Will be done.
The earth is home to many lives!
They’re seen as “other,” not as one…

Full of snow and icicles…

Winter comes each year
Roughens ground and toughens hearts
For Spring’s opening!

Crescent shines above
Bathes the world with tenderness
Tranquil, my heart rests.
Crescent shines at breakfast time
Greeting the new day with jam!

I am Mr. Seagull, not to be confused with the rest of my family–that is, my mate and hatchlings. I am the Big Cheese, and that’s the way it is. I shouldn’t have to tell you I live near the ocean.
You think I should be content just eating fish, but here’s something that will really knock your beach sandals off.
My favorite food is French fries, especially when I swoop down and nab them from an unsuspecting, scared child! AH AH AH, yum yum yum, BLISS!

Needless to say, I was the child in the story… :-()
Light is covered by the veiling,
Never gone, however darkened.
To its calling we must harken,
If we seek a smoother sailing.
Shooting stars with tails a-trailing,
Closer, closer now they shimmer…
Even as the light grows dimmer!
Let us see with mind and spirit!
Heart and soul, be always near it:
Light within forever glimmers!

Frost covers the ground
Shining in sun and moonlight
Glinting crystal stars

Not to be confused with Debussy’s “Clair de Lune,” a classical piece I love, this one is an 18th-century French folk song. The title literally means “By the Light of the Moon.” Its author is unknown, but the melody reigns supreme when anyone learns a musical instrument. In fact, it was one of the first songs I learned to play when I took violin lessons.
Today you’re hearing alto recorder, viola rather than violin, and Oriole soprano recorder, accompanied by ukulele. I hope you enjoy this catchy melody!
How we push and we press and we shove
To suppress all our negative stuff…
And each time we do that,
We are not really flat…
On the contrary: We must erupt!
