Spring

The winters snow has given way
White is now replaced with green
The chirping sound of the Blue Jay
The fluttering of even more birds unseen
Spring has returned to let its beauty be seen

The beams of light warm my face 
Bursts of colors are given by the blooming flowers
Deer bound by, running with grace
Clouds drift in the distance with the promise of a rain shower 
This is a scene that I could watch for hours

The rain falls, gentle and warm
As quick as it comes it leaves
As typically is a spring storm
Just enough rain to wet the trees leaves
And enough for the ground for life to receive 

Trees bloom, their flowers drifting in the gentle breeze
I dread that day when the flowers will be gone
The day when the earth is succumbed to the winters freeze
The days when the sun rises in a cold dawn
The days when gone is the swan

But gone is the worry, much like the passing butterfly
Relaxing to the cooing of the dove
As the butterfly disappears into the never ending sky
I look upwards to the sky above
The season of spring I truly love

Robert, Move to Florida and you will never have to dread the winter's freeze again. You created some beautiful images and went from a sense of despair to a sense of joy. Well done! Congratulations! Carolyn
