Budding out beneath obstructions cinch
The falling has now passed, to spring of winters pinch
Wearing colors that will signify much more than hood
To stretch each tiny edge and greet the sun so warm and good

Budding up a reaching ridge to grasp the dawning rays
The thinking time as soaking shower gives way to brighter days
And sleep commence upon the fragrant air of nights sweet breeze
Another full and flowered spring to bloom of all of these

Budding to the full adult in shapes designed to thrive
For winters death facade returns the green in full alive
Umbrella to shade of the rising fire as summers come
Fully formed the leaves before you dance on sparkling sun
