Spring slowly begins to emerge
As the radiant sun parts the clouds
Replacing winter’s cold with her warmth
Which ignites the life with nature's true self
The world of leaves and flowers
Begin to awaken to bask in the glow

Soon the lawn will be a lush green
Like a soft carpet blanketing the earth
Fresh new leaves will emerge from bare branches
Spreading their limbs out over the ground
They will shimmer quietly in the breeze
As they soak up the long awaited heat

The rain and sun together
Gently encourage newly formed buds
To open themselves up to the world
Exposing the most delicate blossoms
Which burst forth in passionate hues
That mirror those of an iridescent rainbow

It is an awesome sight to behold
This transformation that occurs
When one season melds into the next
Mother Earth gradually becomes rejuvenated
As spring breathes new life into her
Making winter’s tenure seem like a distant memory


All writing comes
by the grace of God.

I enjoyed this - though with four acres of garden spring usually means work for me   . Nice one. I'm voting for this.

God bless and keep you, Namaste!

Nicely done.  I feel sprung!

Well she is sure flirting around with us here, and I will be darn glad when she makes up her mind.  Loved the images in this one.
