spring

the sun sets softly

April 20, 2022 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

the sun sets softly

a young bird’s feather on the cheek 

as the evening breeze rises

take a fresh green look

June 1, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

take a fresh green look
at the broken listening
permit the freedom

spring thoughts

April 15, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

spring thoughts spring feeling
flowers scissored blue paper
always alive now

beginning maze

April 12, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

beginning maze end
lifelong paths too soon forgotten
spring should never end

Northern hemisphere change of season

April 3, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

scaly winter, tortoise-slow and grinding,
devours the meat, the sweet, all it passes over
but as strong hands roll the stone away
life bursts from the splitting seed
and the spring sun is once again resurrected

hope spring forever

hope spring forever
Then summer stopping all our tears
autumn winter yes

hope spring green

March 15, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

hope spring green spring hope
warning songs heard as welcome
sunshine shapes desire

Spring is near coming

March 2, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

Spring is near coming
bare branches explode in green
the sea fog rolls in

Fresh green against impossible blue

April 8, 2020May 1, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

Birdsong loud in crystal air
Spring bursts through unfurling leaves
Hope and glory
Hope and you

birdsong perfectly shaped

February 21, 2019 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

birdsong perfectly shaped takes flight

clotted clouds cover discoloured skies

winter thoughts are fleeing spring
