Spring

March 31st

I went out during the day to
See the sun for the fist time in 2 weeks.
I emerged out of the cocoon
Squirming around
Awkwardly to
Feel the breath of life, life in spring.

April comes tomorrow.
Freshly green, tender leaves, sprouting.
I have been given a gift of life for a month.
I am grateful.
