Advent of Spring 2

ADVENT OF SPRING

It was as though a sign had been received.     
The master plan, held back, now causing stirring
As if nature’s endocrines had been released
Flooding all the world with catalytic spurring

Pre-dawn the Song Thrush first perceived the moment 
Her triple prelude showed  she could recapture
(As day broke, light in softer glow bestowment)
Her first 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
A delicate jade mist veils sylvan canopy 
Sweet Spring is clothing Nature in full panoply
