in the Carolinas there's beauty in nature spring is here ears are attuned to birds singing baby chicks tweets for their parents feedingsl behind green foliage on an oak trees's branch eyes spies butterflies freed from it's cacoon drinking nectar from wildflowers in the fields behind a farmers barn where a river of pink salmon swim up stream mouth watering blackberries catches strollers attention alongside grassy trail thorns and spiny leaves pricks the hands of walkers hoping to taste the sweetness of a blackberry a pocket dyed purple with a few to take home mmmmm the smell of roses tickles nostril hairs growing wild along the woods edge three feet from the picket fence around the yard tall smiling sunflowers wave at visitors touring the grounds children touch dandilions by Cooper's pond laugh and play reaching for dandifluries in the wind arms like airplane wings waving up and down while they run hearing their names being called time for supper spring is here again feel the warmth after the chilly winter the sunshine blazing through sliding glass doors vacationing warm spring beaches along the grand strand sand between the toes water above knees in the dusky hours in the Carolina's spring is here again all is new in the beauty of nature
