Nature's Rebirth

The tulips are blooming out in full array
Lifting colorful cups to sway in the breeze,
Reds, yellows, and pinks appeared today
No longer fearing an early spring freeze.
Like a dance troupe they appear in pose
A performance anticipated at Eastertide,
In beauty rivaling the late summer rose
A spectrum of beauty never to be denied
While Mother Nature greens the earth,
Ethereal whispers glide through the trees
Echoing once again spring’s sounds of mirth
Everywhere this resurrection the eye sees.
