cherry blossoms

cherry blossoms dance
in the breeze under blue sky
as spring sun smiles

knots of anxiety

she tries to stay calm
thinking of peaceful waves
or butterflies on a summer day
 
yet still her stomach ties
in knots when sensing omens
coming her way
 
she hopes one day she will
only see the glass half full
instead of half empty

our eyes on the Ides of March

our eyes on the
Ides of March
but no wind blowing
as Winter takes
her final bow
Spring is waiting
behind the curtain
to take center stage
under April rains

a call to arms

they were swift to close our mouths
fearful of what we may say
they were quick to color our stories
in different shades to look pretty
we will not go quietly or dull our lights
we will shout our names loudly into the sky

on the edge

we stand upon the edge
overlooking paradise green
and cerulean skies
 
one wrong step and
we all fall down into abyss
 
yet we stand here willing
to take the risk
