Kauffman's April Garden

Kauffman’s April Garden

i walked across the frozen land of winter
aware of subtle vibration underneath the surface

this morning, life giving warmth has cracked open the soil and the sun shines the arrival of spring

i sit on a bench before the silent dancer’s fountain
and know there is good in life and laughter and love

as the overture of the birthing season keys up
i muse a fitting place for every living thing

bless the springtime and, as the poet wrote,
“i thank You God for most this amazing day”*

for now, it is spring in Kauffman’s April garden.
