the warmth of daylight
crocuses heralding spring
now songbirds slumber
poetry, prose, and photography

the warmth of daylight
crocuses heralding spring
now songbirds slumber

suburban sunlight
neighbors socially distant
feeling springtime’s close

the wind blowing cold
painful to fingers and face
sun upon the mountains

sunlight’s downward path
as I wander past the fears
ah, cherry blossoms!


more sunlight each day
and the grace of warmer days
cherry blossoms bloom


the daffodils’ gaze
dancing on the near-spring breeze
while the jays chatter
I know that I mostly post poetry, and more specifically haiku, here. However, music also holds a dear spot in my soul. So, discovering this video today thrilled me in many ways (I grew up on a regular diet of Simon & Garfunkle), and I wanted to share it with all of you.
It’s a version of Simon & Garfunkle’s “America” done by the Swedish duo First Aid Kit. Check out who’s in the audience.
