When the Year Laughs

“Then laughs the year; with flowers the meads are bright;

The bursting branches are tipped with flames of light:

The landscape is light; the dark clouds flee above,

And the shades of the land are a blue that is deep as love.”

– Robert Bridges, “April” –

The Silent Promise of Cherry Blossoms

“Out of the dusk of distant woods

All round the April skies

Blossom-white, the cherry trees

Like lovely apparitions rise. . .

Like silent promises of peace,

Like hope that blossoms in the heart.”

– Laurence Binyon, “Cherry Trees” –

Nurture peace. Cultivate kindness. Carry the calm.
