Spring Symphonies

Spring rain 
quietly sprinkles upon me,
opening my buds of new life.

Warm wet air
plants whole musical notes
everywhere around me
that slide gently down
and drop onto the earth,
and soon another drop
fills each spot, in a symphony
called “Spring Silence.”

When the rain stops,
thousands of whole notes
shine in sunlight,
presenting a harmony called 
Light and Water, Music and Life”
that surrounds me, awakening me
to fresh love.
