Breathe In - Breathe Out: The Park in Spring
A Reflection of Abundant Life
The park was full of life
You know the one
The one with the kids’ bandstand
The one by the water
The one with the coffee shop
Spring flowers everywhere
Five-petal yellows
Five-petal violets
Berry brambles supporting whites
I stopped to smell the lilacs
And a pink flower on a bush
Moms with toddlers
A young girl with popcorn
directed the gulls’ dance
Friends skipping stones
Young lovers holding hands
Old lovers holding hands
Even older men sitting on the bench
Taking all of it in
All of it
