Spring Is In the Air

Dullness slowly gives way and comes to life As sunrays gently warm a sleepy earth Blooming dreams in colors devoid of strife Annual cycle silently gives birth Air impregnated with vibrant yearning Nurturing tender lover's kiss and nudge A compulsion too strong to quell burning The miracle of buds begin to budge Spring's balmy droplets of gentle rainfall Awake a frenzy of thirsty verdure Provoking sudden surge and free-for-all We’re moved by such miraculous allure Spring is in the air with steely resolve Evolving sure as earth and sun revolve AP: Honorable Mention 2020, Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on March 9, 2019 for contest SPRING IS IN THE AIR sponsored by EMILE PINET
