March

March is a soft conversation as I look out the window. March is the front lawn after shaking off remnants of snow. March is a sunny day and in the next a touch of rain. March is a branch swaying in the wind as it waits for the first bud. March is a kite on a string as it learns to dance. March is a moment of stillness and in the next a gust of wind. March is the embrace of two lovers when every day is new. March is the moment of silence they share and anticipation of more.

Hello Michael, I loved that through gentle observations of nature and human connection, you evoke a sense of transition and anticipation inherent in this month. The imagery of the front lawn shedding remnants of snow and the branch swaying in anticipation of budding encapsulates the evolving beauty of early spring. Your words create moments in flux, where stillness meets movement and anticipation meets fulfillment. Mike, This is a tender reflection on the essence of March. - Blessings, Daniel
