APRIL
I am APRIL
I am the time to open
I am fourth and fabled
Within the world interwoven
As the fourth in line
Named to honor Aphrodite/Venus
I am the birth of springtime
The rebirth of a living promise
I am opening the new season
I am April, the fool
I am coming upon a new reason
I am an innocent jewel
I am an emergent diamond
I am a sparkling daisy
In a disrupted climate
I am evermore rainy
I am storm clouds
I am April showers
I may form in the ground
Until I bring May flowers
I am showering more than just water
I rain down changes like meteors
I am the Lyrids or Eta Aquarids showers
I am a bright skybourne sweetener
I am trees and flowers blooming
Budding new life within decay
Like the seasons I’m renewing
Making every day into Earth Day
I am changing soon
Precipitating where porous
I am the super pink moon
I am Aries to Taurus
I am more like chicks and bunnies
And eggs, over resurrections
More chocolate hunt than Easter Sundays
I am sweet peas of imperfection
This one feels personal
As I myself was born in April
Yet April babies aren't special
I am like us all, of every tendril.
