Portait of Spring

Soft warm breezes carry a heavy
scent of fragrant flowers in bloom.
Wreath the air with sweetest perfume, 
a delicate lace of flowers lay tenderly 
across the trees, 
cascading down from amaranthine boughs,
through hollows and by gentle babbling 
streams.
A symphony of birds, so sweetly sing, 
keeping rythem with the old front porch swing.
Winding dirt country roads 
draped with billowing willow trees, 
and a carpet of green upon mossy rocks 
becomes a welcoming seat.  
Rotting fence posts and rusty barbwire entangled 
with honeysuckle’s twining vine. 
A portrait of spring created by God’s own design.
