Your Cousin In New Mexxico
In honor of Spring, it's time for some poetry! :biggrin:

The Music We Are

Did you hear that winter?s over? The basil
and the carnations cannot control their

laughter. The nightingale, back from his
wandering, has been made singing master

over the birds. The trees reach out their
congratulations. The soul goes dancing

through the king?s doorway. Anemones blush
because they have seen the rose naked.

Spring, the only fair judge, walks in the
courtroom, and several December thieves steal

away, Last year?s miracles will soon be
forgotten. New creatures whirl in from non-

existence, galaxies scattered around their
feet. Have you met them? Do you hear the

bud of Jesus crooning in the cradle? A single
narcissus flower has been appointed Inspector

of Kingdoms. A feast is set. Listen: the
wind is pouring wine! Love used to hide

inside images: no more! The orchard hangs
out its lanterns. The dead come stumbling by

in shrouds. Nothing can stay bound or be
imprisoned. You say, ?End this poem here,

and wait for what?s next.? I will. Poems
are rough notations for the music we are.

Rumi
 
and from Hafiz.........

Spring and all its flowers
now joyously break their vow of silence.
It is time for celebration, not for lying low;
You too - weed out those roots of sadness from your heart.

Original poem by The Man......

Spring always takes away all of my stresses
mostly because of the girls in short little sun-dresses
The beautiful changes in the trees and the plants
when I see girls in sports bras jogging, I feel a tingle in my pants
I love spring as it is the end of the cool
and because of bitches in bikinis sitting by the pool

The grandest sunflower was once a sprout,
A shoot smaller than one clear fingernail.
But no gardener with green thumb would doubt
that sun, blue sky, and rain would soon prevail.

Love starts as a small seed of potential,
And how it grows depends upon the care
of hearts who choose to be reverential.
Enduring lifetime love is truly rare.

Adversity can yield a hardy plant
as courage and endurance are tested.
To those who persevere, love will grant
the holy grail of all they have quested.

Forgiving compassion is the sweet kiss
whose gift is to renew marital bliss!
