Celebration

May Day
Celebration
trees budding
announcing life
embodying energy and hope
forcefully, innocently, without reservation.
So hard to reconcile
with vaccine resistance
rupturing the right to vote
deliberate disinformation.

The beauty of the day calls for
Celebration
the magic of the wind blown chimes
the persistent bird songs
the cloud muted heat of the sun
interfere with negativity
undermine pessimism
frustrate disappointment.
An optimistic aura
holds its own
against the negativity
conjured from within
or imagined from without.

The beauty of the day calls for
Celebration.
for forgiveness and forgetting,
for love and remembering
those who have mattered
and those who might have mattered.
