Spring Cleaning

4/9/11

The dusty forgotten corners

overlooked during winter's siege

announce themselves in sun,

carrying dull gray energy

from not being seen,

touched, imbibed with value

through pleasure of appreciation,

most everything needs revival

whether kept, given away,

recycled, sold or discarded

though latter is obsolete

as waste dumps overflow,

it is molting process

which becomes expansive bursting

when 'virginity' generates willingness

to revisit and review

all that came before,

discovering what blocks original

birthing in this moment

forward, vacating old dreams

while assembling accumulated resources

deemed necessary in future,

making inner, outer space

for surprise synchronistic synergy

promised each brilliant dawn,

inspiring another Spring cleaning.
