Analysis of Spring Thoughts



No, they won’t disappear
these thoughts of sufferings
and losses that were felt

still we hiccup in gushes
an echo of happiness
burst like a bell

but our court again is brimming
with seeds from fruits that fell
signaling the flow

now let these tough germs grow  
swelling in salty tears
till peels spring

seedlings will color new lives
scents will tempt our senses in May
to part from past blooming
