Fill your eyes with the budding
Potential of life as it bounds
To the surface, bursting forth,
A force to be reckoned, with a sigh
Of tremulous
Hope.
Fill your heart with the tenderest
New things, which will bloom
In your soul
Deep within.

Yes… they do … I’m just not as prone to them as I was before, and the circumstances (and indoors heating and less damp indoors) all help … 🙂 Big bother, these things are!

It is hard to bloom when one’s cup is bone dry. We need to be filled ‘enough’ to be able to bloom, ain’t it so? 🙂
