A Glorious Chorus

Winter sulks, dying slow in stark stillness
while chiffon hues shyly peek into sight
a lace of buds bloom, banishing chillness
as resurrection of colors delight.

Can you hear trees laugh as new leaves spring forth?
See fields of wildflowers wake up and smile?
Can you bask in sweet scents wafting o'er north?
Feel newness of life, a world without guile?

As earth's heartbeat quickens, living things grow
cows calve, fledglings hatch, rabbits multiply
a bountiful journey of ebb and flow
after tremulous start, spring soars through the sky.

Nature's dulcet sounds pulsate through the day
spring's glorious chorus in grand display.

Laura, I love this sonnet of Spring! Only a few short weeks away. I'm very fond of the line "as resurrection of colors delight." Beautiful write, great imagery. Hugs ~ John
