Apple Blossom Time

As the icy cold of winter gives way to days of spring
The trees begin to blossom and the birds all start to sing
And so begins a very lovely special time of year
When nature sings the sweetest song that you will ever hear

Out among the apple trees as the buds begin to bloom
The fragrance of the orchard fills the air with sweet perfume
I listen to the soft and gentle buzzing of the bees
As they dart from flower to flower in the branches of the trees

As the sun peeks through the tree tops on a warm and sunny day
I’ll find a cool and shady spot where I can go and lay
And daydream to my hearts content throughout the day so long
While listening to a chorus of the apple blossom song

As the fragrance of the blossom petals softly fill the air
The chances are you’ll find me dreaming lazily out there
Somewhere in the apple orchard feeling quite sublime
In the coolness of the evening at apple blossom time

Stephen...Enjoyed this poem. I never smelled apple blossoms but I have smelled orange blossmans and they sure fill the air with their sweet perfume. Thanks for sharing...Paul

You make me want to go there. You describe this in such a lovely way. I've only been to one apple orchard and it was when I was in elementary school so very long ago. A very relaxing scene here.  Enjoyed!

The apple orchard was one of my favorite places as a child.
