Spring keeps teaching me about renewal and rejoicing. I created a kimono design from my photos of the Bradford Pear trees that burst into bloom in late March and early April. The poem is dedicated to Mia Gant.

Comes the rain and cleanses the night.
Comes the rain and washes the shadows,
away, away.
And after the rain, comes the dawn,
bringing the clear light,
the now-bright, new day.
Comes the morning, and I rise,
whole and strong, with grateful eyes,
I turn to sun to start
the rainbow in my arms,
the future in my heart.
Like a song,
like a song,
I will rise,
I will rise.
From dark night to
day light,
rainbow in my arms,
future in my heart,
I will rise,
I will start
like a song that sounds
a part of all that is,
I will rise,
I will rise,
bright future in my heart.
