this spring in my hut
there is nothing
there is everything

White on white
Simplicity came to me
Embossed and embellished
Today the spring’s sun
Lightens my windows
Today the springs breeze
Asks me to go outside
We are in difficult times
Yes, there is nothing
But also there is everything
Hopes that eventually
New ways will begin
When months of compassion
Will bring their own rewards
Light upon light
Simplicity came to me
Refreshed and refurbished
