It’s an honor to share my poem Spring Renewal with you that was published on MasitcatoresUsa yesterday, thanks to Barbara Leonard and her team, for their continued support of my work. You can also visit Barbara at her site Extraordinary Sunshine Weaver. Thank you truly for reading and your support which means so much to me.
Rain taps on our window
flowers push their way through dirt, the sun kisses our cheek.
Rejoice in birthing hope and faith.
Say goodbye to darkness and despair,
making room for light:
Finding renewal.
Grateful for new eyes to see,
embrace each moment, blessed are we.
The sun behind the dark cloud,
force us to dig deep and hold our fragile and broken parts.
I would be delighted if you would go here and read the rest of my poem and share the appreciation with MasticadoresUsa as well.
This is the most rain we have had in California since I can remember and we’re due for another big storm Tuesday. When it rains it pours! So far our drainage fix from the last storm is holding up and we’re not getting any more damage NOK on Wood!
Sending you many blessings of love and warmth as you weather whatever storm you may be going through in life!
💗
Cindy

Congratulations, Cindy, for publication of such a heartwarming poem on springing spring! You truly deserve it. In my place, summer has already set in.
Thank you so much Dear kaushal. Oh I love you have summer now! ❣️
You’re more than welcome, Cindy 💖

This is such a beautiful tribute to the renewal of Spring…When I lived in Wisconsin, Spring was sometimes desperately awaited after long harsh winters. Your words describe so perfectly this feeling of awe to realize Spring is really here. Hope is in the air and oh my..love too..It seems all of Nature is open to love. Gorgeous writing Cindy and congratulations on your publication here.🌷🌷🌷🦋
Beautiful poem. Take care. Just read about flooding in California.
Thanks Rupali, and more to come. Love your poem today too.. 💞
🙏

Rain is so cleansing. I have returned home to a fresh cool breeze. It has finally rained and washed and watered the land. Love your poem Cindy, congratulations 💕
Loved the poem, I absolutely love spring and it’s always so fun when it rains especially when I go to sleep 💕
Thanks Pooja!!! Glad you liked my poem and I’m with you.. rain ☔️, 😴, wake and sun 🌞
Congratulations, Cindy!
Your message of hope resonates. Yes, one takes/finds courage as the days brighten to mine the rich/rewarding soil of coming Spring. Fabulous!!
Thank you so much Suzette and yes, you are sooo right about that!!! I’m delighted you enjoyed it and said so well ! “The rich rewarding soil!”
💕
You are most deservedly welcome, Cindy. Cheers.
❤️💕❤️
Nature’s sense of humor is hard to understand. I don’t always get the joke. I can sort of see nature’s reason for a flood plain: nutrients are brought from upstream and overflow into vast fields to fertilize the fields. That works for plants as long as there are no people. Building levees sabotages that, and increases the intensity of flow downstream which makes other problems. I’ve always thought that we should build a bridge lengthwise on a river and put the farmhouse and the barns on the bridge like little castles that have drawbridges that come down when the field is dry and the tractors can drive down. Mother Nature came by once and she was not laughing like in that old margarine commercial “It’s not nice to fool mother nature.” I think the only place where large numbers of people won’t try to settle is Antarctica. Everywhere else people go or escape to no matter how inhospitable and chronically tragic. People fleeing and hiding built Venice. I guess sometimes it works, but there are casualties.
Thanks always for your well thought comments and Mother Nature is tricky. We might be doing the butter slide dance today so there’s that and you’re right. I ain’t moving to Antarctica Doug!
❤️😂💕❤️
I’m glad you are doing okay. It’s been touch and go where we used to live in CA.
Thanks a lot. Oh my… tomorrow will supposedly be the test!!
❣️
I hope everything passes!
oh Marsha ….meeee too. stuck at the airport with cancelled flights. 😆
Oh no! Looks like you’ve got your phone or computer to keep you company, but I hope you get out soon!
Thanks Marsha.. it was crazy but made it and off to the next leg.. 💞
I enjoyed reading your next post. You and your kids look like you had a great time in spite of a little rain!! LOL Rain on the bed is NOT good!
Thanks so much Marsha! We had a great time hanging short as it was minus the rain on the bed Marsha! 💗
LOL Rain on the bed is never fun!
Horrible!!!😂❣️. Glad it’s not mine!
More rain? My goodness! Hopefully the rain will continue and reduce the wildfires. 🤞🏻 I’ve loved the desert rains we’ve had this winter. 🌧️ A lovely poem on spring’s renewal. 🌸💗
I know it’s wild and I so agree with you! We have had enough fires! It’s nice to have rain for sure! I’m glad you liked my poem. Thanks Michele!💕
We are due some rain later this week. It will visit you, then make its way here. You are welcome. Spring poems add to the energy of spring. 💐

Congratulations, Cindy, on your beautiful poem. Stay safe!💖
I have been watching this news about California floods and storms. It’s a devastating situation. I hope the harsh weather clears soon.
Your poem about spring renewal is refreshing this time of year. I sit here with snow on the ground looking forward to spring flowers. Soon. At least the sun is shining today. Enjoy your sunshine!
Thanks so much Mary! Oh I see some but it’s taking a while for the warmth Mary but even through the snow they will poke through eventually which is amazing! 🌼🌼
Oh, this is beautiful, Cindy! Congratulations.❤️🤩
Thanks so much Dear Aaysid! 💗
This is a truly beautiful poem about the coming of Spring, Cindy. I love the first lines.’Rain taps on our window, flowers push their way through dirt, the sun kisses our cheeks.’ I love the sound of the rain beating against the window when I’m tucked up safely indoors. I can visualise the flowers pushing their way through the ground, slowly, slowly making an appearance to herald in the new season. It reminds me of those slow-motion (time-lapse) films that nature programmes show. And finally, the sun’s warmth on our cheeks as the first rays of Spring shine brightly. Thanks for sharing this, Cindy, and congratulations for your poem being published with MasticadoresUsa. Xx 💖🌷🌻🌼💖
Hi Ellie,
Thanks so much my friend. I’m glad. you like those lines, thanks for letting me know. It’s amazing to watch how dark and wet it can be and still see gorgeous life open. I am ready Ellie and hoping it warms up soon.
