it's all in the melting of the snow.

   it reveals what we all thought was

lost. 

   life is

again renewed. 

the sun shines in a way that we had

   forgotten.

somehow our

hopes & dreams are ours

   again.

the rain is washing the sidewalks the way our tears

   cleanse our hearts.

hope is restored.

   flowers are in bloom.

our hearts are being

   opened.

the wind is blowing the curtains.

can you hear them... the robins?

they are singing the same song that is in my

   heart.

it sings the song of winter & of hardships endured.

but it longs for something new.

   and the promise is there.

all you need to do is open your eyes

   because

its buried beneath the melting snow.

just take it. and let go.

courageously putting myself out there,

lauren
