Poetry by Holly Bianchi

SPRING AWAKENING

 

A rush of euphoria overcomes me

 
As trees bloom into an array of lilac, pink and white colors,
 
And the flowers show off their  beauty,
 
While my senses take over my life.
 
My eyes see the rebirth of my surroundings,
 
My ears hear the sounds of every bird that flies above me,
 
My nose is overwhelmed by the fragrances of the flowers
 
And the scent of the lilac trees,
 
As my lips repeat the wonder of this season of rebirth.
 
My love for all that is beautiful, fresh and wonderful
 
Outshines the rays of the sun
 
And my happiness overshadows rains that water the flowers.
 
So be it, this awakening of Spring never ceases year after year.

 

My Sweetheart
 
 
 
You are not a forgotten little soul, nor a nameless little cat,
 
You have a name, it is Sweetheart, and your life and spirit have a place
 
Not only in my heart, but in this earth life.
 
I was wrong for not taking you into my life while you
 
Walked by yourself on this earth. 
 
You were always on my mind, and now you will be forever a part of it.
 
I know now you are happy with all the love and fulfillment you were denied
 
On this earth, and when you crossed over the Rainbow Bridge you were
 
Met with all the hugs and kisses from not only mortal spirits, but from
 
The spirits of other animals as well.
 
Life for you now is very beautiful, the way it should have been on earth. 
 
We will be together one day, and I will give you all the love, hugs and kisses
 
That you can endure!
 
Continue to enjoy all the endless happiness that life now gives to you,
 
As I will always keep you in my heart until the day when you and I finally
 
Meet one another, My Sweetheart.
