The vast drape of land calls us,
its undulation of tilting trails and spread of green
over density of earth teeming
with unseen things. There is genius
of growth beneath while horizon’s blue
offers a new comfort of light, empty of rain.
Today it is a genial drama, spring’s arrival,
and to be a witness is to feel the spirit stir, rise
with a deepening breath that carries
silken perfume of cherry blossoms
that startle the air with innocence
and shy resplendence.

An imperturbable demeanor comes from perfect patience. Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune and misfortune at their own private pace like a clock during a thunderstorm.—Robert Louis Stevenson
Jy is wat jy dink - nie wat jy dink jy is nie. Dit help soms om hardop te lag vir wat jy dink of dink jy is.

Your poem is so hopeful and elegant, Cynthia. And those final lines are heavenly: “…silken perfume of cherry blossoms/that startle the air with innocence/and shy resplendence.”
