Bj Legros Kelley Poet Sonnet

Breath of Spring

The sweetest breath of Jasmine lifts my eyes
                        To small white petaled flowers on her vine
                            Beholding precious, purple butterflies
                                Like angel ballerinas so divine

                               A melody ensues as old as earth
                           Creation sings her storied songs again
                               Beauty of life renewing in rebirth
                        My heart beats rhythmic music from within

                        The golden sun now pierces clouds of white
                         Emitting heavens pathway, glorious beam 
                      Dark shadows fade and winter must take flight
                          We wake again as if from wearied dream 

                        My heart bursts forth in song as bird on wing
                         Praise You Father God for wonderous Spring
                  

                                     The Third of March, 2021
                                Breath of Spring Poetry Contest

The longing to begin working in my garden and early planting is almost too hard to resist.
