Restoration

Sometimes a series of seemingly random phrases cohere to make a sense of their own. This is one such:

There is plenty to share:
A year of April’s to keep in your head 
While all about you fiddle with the buttons on their coat.
Embrace the drum that urges you on.
Sing with ease and joy or however the spirit moves you.
Seek the glittering truth
Of who you can be.

Even as the crow flies
In confettied blossom and precious scent
Somewhere East of Mandarin mettle meets metal:
Magnatised,
Galvanised,
With strenghth, with hope, with honesty.
Stride forward. Face and embrace, with integrity,
The glittering truth of who you can be.
