Seasonal Aura

many the marvels 
in the earth’s burgeoning garden
spring is release 
the Lord’s yearly pardon

fallen, the brown, dead and decaying
covering mats nature’s mother laying
rivers refreshed with spring’s overflow
funnel life to all that grow

the flowers in colors reds, whites and blues
pastels speak a how do you do
in vibrant hues too numerous to mention
Monet bestowed at this glory convention

beasts, creatures, small creepy crawlers
flyers, swimmers and those that are brawlers
find refuge rebirth among the leafy green flora
flourish in the aura of Eos and Aurora  

a slender jade snake of glistening green
basks in the sunshine silent not seen
bugs, a frog and a salamander too
seek shelter and haven under a privy of blue

squirrels searching probe dead fallen leaves
butterflies gracefully flit in the breeze
bluebirds, thrushes and a brown pudgy dove
scout housing in youthful branches above

how blessed to flee 
a city’s capture 
finding the woodlands 
and natural rapture

Your poem itself is sheer rapture, Howard! Beautifully crafted. And so nice to read a non-Covid-write these days. A FAVE for me! Thanks, Gershon
