Spring Is In the Air

Sparkle of dawn perks up inert callow greens
Inviting a resurgence of dormant waterfalls
When spring ignites revival of river’s journey
Hidden far behind the soaring mountaintops.

A blue bird lingers on a pink flowery branch
Watching vibrant tulips in a graceful dance
Where fragrant breeze sways budding fields
As golden daybreak proposes a lyrical scene.

Adoring pinkish white cherry blossom trees
People cherish vistas of reflective river basin
Meandering through a garden of red roses
Wearing glitter of pleasantry on their faces.

Yellow blossoms rise from long green stems
Where red blooms comingle cohesive ways
And butterflies roam searching sweet nectar
Celebrating gleefully abundance of flowers.

Sky has resumed wearing aquamarine blue
Dissipating the vestiges of melancholic hues
As spring's passion makes it abundantly clear
A season of fervent love is flirting in the air.

Placed first in standard contest #160 by Brian Strand

Hi Vijay, spring comes alive from the nib of your pen, as golden ink spreads your words across the page, painting such lovely visions within my mind. You create a living dream with your words my friend. I can place myself within the heart of your words and I am surrounded by the feeling and beauty of spring. An excellent write. Have a wonderful Sunday. Your friend always....Mike.
