A Spring Sonata

After the misty snow, with the sun’s Aurelian caress,
Men get out of their homes to feel the kiss of the early beams
The air is now resonant with avian chatter.
Jungles echo the joys of untrammelled life,
As birds and animals have reclaimed their space

There is a newness as sprouts appear on every tree. 
Daffodils and tulips push through the crust of the earth. 
Their delicate petals unfold one by one,
As the breeze at dawn nudges them flirtatiously.
Fields of wildflowers stretch endlessly. 
Oh, what a beatific lovely sight!

Verdant leaves flutter in sweet murmurs
Which can be heard only by attentive ears.
The wind too sings a sweet serenade.
The creek that flows down the hill with grace
Makes a sweet dulcet sound.
A chant builds amid the wavelets of the stream.
Life comes alive as musical incantations flow out,
From the open beaks of the cuckoo and the thrush.

Do you hear as I do the serenade of nature?
The warbling of birds, the murmur of winds
The babbling of the brooks, the sound of the soft landing
Of delicate dew drops on the stretching meadows.

As I listen to the symphonies of lovesome spring
My soul dances like a dew drop on a rose petal.

Ahh!! Reminders of spring which will arrive even though it doesn't feel like spring right now. It is supposed to be warm this afternoon through at least Friday. Wonderful for children who might get outside toys like bikes or trikes. Sara K

Dear friend Valsa, Your composition seamlessly weaves together the beauty of nature and the complexities of human emotion, creating a symphony of poetic verses that capture the essence of spring and the depth of the human spirit. Your evocative imagery and eloquent expression resonate with me on a personal level, inviting me to immerse myself in the emotional richness of your words. It is a truly artistic piece.
