In the March issue of the Flaming Rose Journal,
we joyously celebrate once again the coming of Spring.
As tender green buds and flowers start to bloom,
we feel the Urge of New Life growing
within our Heart,
within our Being,
within Everything.
Winter is ending
Life is beginning again
Life is beginning again
with the Spring
with the Spring
|
|
|
fulfilling the Urgence
of Life and Seed and Spring
the Peach Tree Blossoms open
in the Light of the Sun
what will become Fruit
must first be a Bloom
Being and Becoming
are One

With the Spring
now the Spring is rising in the Sun
the soft dawning light has begun to brighten
I can feel the light arising in me
I can feel the light arising in everything
Winter is ending
Life is beginning again
Life is beginning again
with the Spring
with the Spring
now the Spring is arising in the Earth
the tender green buds have begun to open
I can feel the buds arising in me
I can feel the buds arising in everything
Winter is ending
Life is beginning again
Life is beginning again
with the Spring
with the Spring
now the Spring is arising in the Air
the birds have begun to joyously sing
i can feel the song arising in me
I can feel the song arising in everything
Winter is ending
Life is beginning again
Life is beginning again
with the Spring
with the Spring
now the Spring is arising in the Heart
the feeling of new love has begun to grow
I can feel love arising in me
I can feel love arising in everything
Winter is ending
Life is beginning
Life is beginning
with the Spring
with the Spring
with the Spring
with the Spring
