Awaiting Summer

The countryside had slept through a long winters chill I had waited and searched for the first signs of spring from a hill Now Spring shows it's first signs under a clear blue sky a weak yellow sun shines down from on high the countryside depicted a world turning green new life from old such a joy to be seen flowers start blooming their buds so sublime wildlife awakens a sight so divine distant cottages masked in a strange purple haze amid fields of pasture where cattle do graze a stream running clear as fished swim by oh! what an image to hold til I die soon I may lay beneath a tree- to gain respite from the heat- when that time comes it will be such a treat the sounds and the smells on a hot summer's breeze and a bright yellow sun will shine through a canopy of trees When summer arrives.
