March is birthed in eager anticipation
And lays out as a blanket
The harsh, brittleness of winter escapes us
And the world emerges transposed
There is awakening
Renewal
Glory to the ladybug
Carrying promise on her back
For gardenias greet with sweetness
Before eyes lay sight
Oaks spring to life with effervescent leaves
Of a transparent luminous, green
Days stretch out like an afternoon nap
And light takes over darkness
The daffodil in her yellow dress boasts
Of her bold, daring disposition
As milky white daisies ignite
With a yellow button taking center
Roses procure themselves
Their beauty disguising their bite
The cool crisp water quickens toes
As green frogs hustle to their buoyant lily pads
Chirps make symphony and
Bees buzz, pollinating vibrant petunias
Some days the sky cries with vengeance
Saturating all things dry and thirsty
Even children heed the call
Moving through plush, green grass
In these days, in these times
We bear witness to revolution
