April Scenes

Treetops whistle
with the morning breeze
Gently rattling leaves
turning green once again
as the sun slowly peeks
over the distant horizon
She bathes the land
in soft pastel hues
of yellow and orange
tinged with sky blue

Outside my window
the shrill, wild call
of a mockingbird
fills me with anticipation
Knowing that her voice
brings a new beginning
A rebirth of sound and color
as we joyfully emerge
like colorful butterflies
from winter’s cocoon

I enjoyed reading this very much. I can't wait for spring so I can emerge and fly away from winter's gloom!  Well said!

A beautiful portrait of Spring and the beautiful month I was born in.
