Season of Splendor

Spring arrived, softer than the paling dawn
Wildflowers flourished across verdant hills
Bees were swarming, lush grass covered my lawn 
in the season of splendor, as God wills

Glints of gold sunlight gleamed o'er pastel skies
Bird trills filled the air with resonant song
Life was a color palette through my eyes
On wafting breeze, monarchs fluttered in throng

What a joyous time when hope is renewed
Every living thing seems pure and pristine
Nature revived, and its beauty imbued
My heart is content and my soul, serene

God enfolds us in clement alms of Spring
The gentle season after Winter's sting

Spring is always welcome and much needed after winter and all the restrictions that will hopefully be lifted in the coming weeks. Hope your week is going smoothly. Tom PS, your bee poem has buzzed off?

I'm so glad you like these lines. I wrote them before I found the perfect painting to accompany it. Thanks, Alexis.
