Els stuurde mij vandaag haar gedichtje Harbinger of Spring wat zij heeft gemaakt. Op haar verjaardagsfeest had Jeanette van Velzen hierop gecomponeerd en gezongen en dat was zo bijzonder dat ik dit wil delen .
Harbinger of Spring (Els Kikke)
I already heard you calling
On a winter’s day
I could smell your tentative perfume
And feel your sparkling presence
Now you’re here
Fragile and translucent,
Like the child within,
You live in me,
Growing towards the light
Towards the jubilation
Of Summer.
I want to show you
just as you are
And enjoy you
As you are;
My Spring.
You fought so bravely
Through my winter,
To become born.
You’re so vulnerable
And full of life.
As translucent and tenuous
As Spring
I stand on tiptoe,
And reach for the Sun.
Sunlight streams
Through the top of my head
And finger tips
To within
And reaches my heart,
Which opens
Like a flower.
Spring is inside me,
Shimmering with Love
Of Life.
My Heart and the Sun
Melt together
And my body
Welcomes the warmth…
I feel the nurturing earth
Beneath my feet.
I am growing.
I am a link
Between heaven and earth.
Slanting rays of sunlight
Shine into people’s homes.
Spring is coming
To make us burst open
With her softly
penetrating song.
Too much for some.
Too hard to feel
So vulnerable,
Threatened by
Independence,
To open like a flower.
But dear Spring,
Your courage
Inspires us all.
You rise out of darkness,
Never failing to appear.
Storms cannot stop you,
You’re nurtured by the Sun
And Earth
You blossom and flourish
You’re true spirit itself
Since you dare
To show
Your fragility.
