A Spring Day on Silvermine Bay
written by: Sonia FL Leung
Blossom by blossom
the spring
announces its arrival.
A wet wind blows
across my face,
moistening my soul.
Pearls of dew
glisten on the grass,
like tears from last night’s dream.
A bumblebee
bunts and bunts,
until it enters the heart of a flower.
The sound of the surf
breaks on the beach,
flushing toxic thoughts out of my brain.
Breathing in
the briny air,
I feel my heart rejuvenating like a bud.
