this is the season of change

March is a period of transition

already you are in preparation

for the rains of April

this time of year begins the pastels

the loveliest of colors adorning you

my favorite is the powder blue

altho yellows do you well 

lavender steals my breath

the light green becomes a garden nymph

all dance in memories of children dying eggs

working hand in hand we did the rabbit well

there were times i must admit

thinking i had married Mother Earth

yet my heart knows the truth

i married a woman 

who made the colors come alive

from the shadows in my life

who made the moon dance to a waltz

who made vegetables palatable

who made my life heaven on Earth

who made me realize

i am because of who you are
