Advent of Spring

ADVENT OF SPRING 

It was as though a sign had been received.     

The master plan, held back, now caused enaction

As if nature’s endocrines had been released
 
Flooding our world with catalytic action


Pre-dawn the Song Thrush first perceived the moment 

Her triple prelude showed she could recapture

(As day broke, light in a softer glow bestowment)

Her symphony of blissful, careless rapture


On this cosmic stage light rose imparting sheen

And sun lent equinoctial  warmth to nourish

The hedgerows that had barely hinted green 

Were now transformed to full fresh verdant flourish



In trees the sap is surging in ascension

A delicate jade mist now veils the canopy 

Across the land life wakes in each dimension

Sweet Spring is clothing Nature in her full panoply

Thank you for your distinguished comment on 'je t'aime 'neath a Banyan Tree' which I acknowledged my dear Geoffrey - 'The True Knight' might appeal to your British sense as well as the latest one 'Love is in the Air' with Aussie singer John Paul Young whom you may have heard of when you were in OZ ...Maria :) <3

Beautiful poem Geoffrey. Full of natures music and the color of spring. It's as if I am watching your script unfold on a stage - complete with special effects - Loved it - as I do Robert Browning...Maria :)
