Signs of Spring
Mindful Optimism for Modern Times
by Luke Boyes


SIGNS OF SPRING Spring’s subtle flirtation Begins with soft brush strokes Upon the wintery landscape Days stretch out their limbs Waking from a slumber And then, the other morning Did I notice a shift in the light? But to my mind this cannot yet be I’ve been weathered for a time Mistrusting my soul’s assurances Sensing my hesitation Chickadees and cardinals sing So that I might trust In the promise of summer


During daily commutes to work, author Luke Boyes became aware of new ways of engaging with the external world by means of exploring the space within. He began to write these ideas down, which organically led to a collection of poems exploring the inner self. He was inspired to write Signs of Spring: Mindful Optimism for Modern Times while transcribing those old notes, setting the intention to shine his own unique light by contributing positive energy into the world through these writings. Luke lives in Ottawa, Ontario, and Signs of Spring: Mindful Optimism for Modern Times is his first published book. He also shares thoughts and writings on Instagram and Twitter, where you can connect with him @lukeboyeswrites.
