EARLY

Early
A walk through my hometown

While the Cherry Blossom touches my lonesome heart, the Magnolia starts to write
her own kind poetry, Morning Glory weares a coat of fresh emptiness, a pale skin of
serenity. While the Blackbird continues his history repeatly, Spring has definitely 

arrived – a cold white morning,  a pale awakening sun. Hear the clear blue sounds 

of a new reward, the birds of great hope. A singing in the making, slowly turning 

into a new day dawning.

The silence gets disturbed by the return of Starlings coming home for joy and laughter.

They arrive in billions – a flog of bright shiny wings – funny  murmurations in the early 
sky: “ We have waited for you such a long time “. In the trees it’s happening again 
- Spring has definitely arrived – unfolding leaves like new pages of dairy, a 
flourishing in the making, slowly turning into a new day dawning –
