Nowruz-inspired by my Dad's poem written in farsi

if you hear a quail with a subtle attitude
or see a spring of water 
next to a waterfall with magnitude  

If you hear a knightingale sing a story
perched on a tree branch
a love song of kindness and glory

if you see a mother duck lead her babies
or a Deer grazing
a herd of them like little ladies

if you see mint  grow wild next to a creek
feel the raindrops
frogs leaping hide and go seek

if your world feels fresh and now new
under the sprinkles 
feel the freshness, rebirth and dew

then rejoice and pamper for a new beginning
play and dance as you are singing
for this is Spring....This is Nowruz 

Nowruz is what you are feeling!
