We’re all birds in our cages now
Looking out our windows
Protected by walls
And listening with our hearts
To nature’s whispers and whines
And as the bird song becomes brighter
And filters our hearts with pure joy
We know that the season has shifted
Into the ripeness of Spring
And we find ourselves
In a new realm
And a new way of relating
With deep respect
For Mother Nature
And the impact of the unknown
For where there is darkness,
There is light
May the shadows of your past
Stay behind you
And may your light be the beacon of hope
For humanity
And let’s transform and transcend
To a simpler and more peaceful world
