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.
