Breathless

"With death, the winter sleeps. . .
          spring's rebirth promise, keeps.”
                                   __by Poet


It leaves me breathless, how each year
     our spring wakes up from winter sleep.
No hesitation, for it's true,
     its promise for new life, will keep.

I woke one morning, there to find
     by the front walk, buds did appear.
Snowdrops and lavender Crocus
     gave birth to prove that spring is here.

Soon, painted landscapes, like a dream,
     washed out the gloomy winter view
to leave me breathless in the glow
     of pristine beauty, fresh and new.

To breathe the pureness of spring air
     with fragrant mists of perfumed scent;
to feel the sun's refreshing  breeze-
     have left me breathless and content!
