The Melody of Spring
Winter left behind
Cold mildens
Almost.. vanishes.
What was once barren,
now turns to sundry hues.
The soft winds whisper,
"Winter has melted away."
Blooming flowers
with vibrant shades of
pink,
blue,
violet,
orange,
red,
and even yellow.
Each pushing their way up from
the soil that has been warmed by
the newborn sunlight.
Each budding fast to share their
immense allure.
The perfumed scent of the
infant, delicate
blossoms
puts us all to sleep.
The rain that occurs
every now and then,
to rejuvenate the plants
that give us such pleasure.
Buds sprout,
animals come out.
The once-white hare,
and the foxy cat.
Eyes open everywhere,
new lives join our beautiful world.
The melody of spring is heard,
the song that will forever remain in our hearts.
