And the steel doors of the sun's safe open like the windows of a house and the colors make their way down to earth, each one vibrating subtly, like a flock of bleating lambs seeking their mother... The sun's blessings are reunited with their colors..

MERRY MUSIC
People and things also join in spring's rainbow of colors. Houses and railings are given a fresh coat of paint. Cars are washed and polished daily. Hoses coiled up asleep in dark cellars are attached to faucets and resuscitated, dragged out into the street where carpets are washed every day, their rose and floral motifs intermingling with the flowers in the garden. Houses fill with the fresh scent of detergent. . Windows are flung open and the sounds of the outdoors and the fresh air of spring waft in. Indoor sounds spill outside, too. The washing machine and the vacuum cleaner work overtime. The roar of the vacuum sets the dog barking. Startled by the barking, the bird takes wing and perches on a new branch.
