I agree with what Anne says directly below: you have made April such a powerful metaphor for what is positive, healthy, influential the metaphor transfer to you and so YOU ARE APRIL. I like the movement in this poem as you develop a very fluid image of APRIL: at first April is a time period, one which tames the harshness of nature and brings in her sweetness; then, April becomes one of your attributes which is expressed in a breathtaking image- I SET FREE THE DOVES OF MY HEART. That is so wonderful! It's an experience that can exist in only two things: magic and poetry. And in the last stanza you assume the role of April to convey an awareness of the HAPPY WAY to all. What a generous poem, Cigeng! I believe those doves you released are blessing us here in the Twin Cities! !
