April Rhapsody*

April Rhapsody

Can you feel the sun shining?

I feel it on my face,

So strong my eyes water.

I'd share it with you here.

Come closer. Let's feel its rays together.

I'd hide myself in the springtime grass,

Blades so sweet and long;

A bird walks close by me now.

I feel the sun on the flower tops.

I did everything in no-time today,

Flowers everywhere.

And sun and trees and grass.

Two poems before breakfast,

Another with my lunch.

The yawning sky greets

The sun's pillar of brightness;

Season-swept clouds paint the trees

And hills and house windows with laughing.
