Frances Schiavina Poet Lyric

Wake Up and Sing

Orange red 
lemon strawberry
in the shade
playfully hanging

Luster of summer
fragrance of spring
sunlit colors
in festive green.

Gray to green
wake up and sing
renewed itself
in secret spring.

Falling hair
wintering gray
will it be renewed  
some hidden spring day?
                      
Twinkling eyes
say I won’t die
if all  thing recycle
shouldn’t I?
