Advent of Spring

Advent Of Spring



Reemerging sunlight magically illuminate a darkened alpine summit

Cloud lingered for an eternity now banished amidst surviving spruce

Spores through withered ground sprout anew like a recurring comet

Pristine water inundates bank of anonymous river nourishing moose



Above urban landscape people taste remnants of a variety of smells

Relishing April showers children emulate elfin leprechauns carousing

Cabs defying limousines vie for fares portraying overzealous gazelles

Memories of winter beneath a bluer sky heralds the advent of spring

The peculiarity of Man... As always, your insight is truly sharp Valsa! Thanks, I treasure hearing from you...ab
