Kiss of the Breeze

Butterfly rhythms playing on silent wings
 To the verdant refrain of springtime strings

 Iridescent dance of the dragonfly
 Waltzing with the wind beneath azure sky

 Flowers blushing at the kiss of the breeze
 As spring smiles upon the birds and the bees

 Fragrant scent of lilac lilts through the vale
 Chorus of daffodils sway in the dale

 Pink blossoms reflection in tranquil lake
 Swans find serenity, ripples they make
