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
