Spring Forward

A look out the window fills my heart with Spring anticipation.

The bright yellow forsythia and neon daffodils

Are megaphones for the vitality of Earth.

The scene is disturbed by a single plastic bag.

An insider tossed out in the wind.

Its fate got stuck in the bare limbs of a tree.

This plastic flag is a reminder of the carelessness of man.

As the wind increases and all the limbs and flowers sway…

This insider fills with air and begins to sing.

It too must feel the joy of Spring.

The small feathered  birds scampering around feel the excitement

And they begin to sing along.

I watch it all with fascination and I can see the viral spread of Spring

Is in the air. (Unstoppable.)

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
