Spring.

A beauty to behold
fresh
sweet  
virginal
a delicate scent.
Curious buds poke  tender snouts above ground
sniffing ,testing the air.
Blossoms, palms raised in worship
  view the glory of a new world.
Blazing hues fill the realm
a kaleidoscope of color
 as flowers sway and bow
in homage.
Butterflies fickle and swift
flit fitfully  from petal to petal
 while baby birds peek forth in wonder.
Mother earth bustles with life,
cradling all to her  ample bosom.
Life after the dead of winter 
a promise  
of  rebirth after death.
