After a year of uncertainty

London is awash with flowers

assuaging us with a bounty of blooms

spring’s arrival post-lockdown, post-heartache, post-tragedy

Rebirth! of mood, of mind, of heart

a renewal of, a continuation of

life.

These pink beauties, brightening: parks, streets, gardens, window ledges

a welcome sight,

these gems of nature coloring our world

like tiny miracles.
