Spring Rebirth

Spring Rebirth


Spring wakes from hibernation on warm days
     which March allows, near closure of her reign.
But, since she's fickle, wind and snow regain
     the right to visit, spread their frosty glaze.
Yet, mostly, we will see new growth displays,
     encouraged by spring air and April rain,
that splendidly repaint the dull terrain,
     with verdant wash and lovely pastel haze.

Our reborn spring unveils her youthful glow,
     unfolding on the plains and mountain crests.
Along the valleys and their streams below,
     her blooms and leafy trees grace each plateau.
And coupling among creatures soon bequests
     new life...to multiply, replenish, grow.
