On the Spring Equinox, Saturday, March 20, this year, Bushra penned a poem, celebrating Spring. An exclusive for Different Truths.

Harbinger of sunshine and warmth
Spelling the end of days of cold
Spring breathes new life into nature
Flowers blossom forth in a burst of myriad hues
Trees are dressed in a spurt of green, delicate and fresh
Birds chirp cheerfully in an unending twitter
While creatures, little and big, crawl out of hibernation
Welcoming the joy of new life
Celebrating the manifestation of a new spirit
Day and night, balancing the light of the sun…
Equalise
And, moving away from the gloom of dark winters
As we move towards summer
Can man remain unaffected by this exposition of nature? 

It is that time of the year to take a look at life afresh,
A time to reaffirm our faith in God and humanity
A time to eliminate negative thoughts and infuse positivity
A change in attitude, perhaps, is what is needed
As seasons change…!
