I think of this particular poet each spring and Easter as nature and our souls are renewed. Add your favorite ee cummings poem...
Now the ears of my ears are awake and now the eyes of my eyes are open
i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth) how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginably You? ------------------

Recording of E. E. Cummings (1894-1962) ACTUALLY reading his OWN poem "i thank You God for most this amazing" from his book "XAIPE."

Still awaiting for it to feel like spring around here. “sweet spring is your
time is my time is our
time for springtime is lovetime
and viva sweet love” (all the merry little birds are
flying in the floating in the
very spirits singing in
are winging in the blossoming) lovers go and lovers come
awandering awondering
but any two are perfectly
alone there’s nobody else alive (such a sky and such a sun
i never knew and neither did you
and everybody never breathed
quite so many kinds of yes) not a tree can count his leaves
each herself by opening
but shining who by thousands mean
only one amazing thing (secretly adoring shyly
tiny winging darting floating
merry in the blossoming
always joyful selves are singing) “sweet spring is your
time is my time is our
time for springtime is lovetime
and viva sweet love”
