In my mind’s eye remembering
some that I had seen
the words on the radio
speaking to me
In lines and colors
on the screens painted
the beauty of the blossoms
ushering in springtime
The native beauty
the seasons unfurling
too soon falling
heavy to the ground
The land yet crying
the scene fast changing
the despair of the water
flood took away this scene
The screens remaining
better than pictures
preserved for us to see
in lines and colors
the beauty of this land.
