Notes About The Poem
" SPRING'S BEAUTY " MY PHOTO ©
Spring's Mourning
Anticipating the rebirth of nature
onto the fields, I walked the other day
hoping to marvel at the outburst of beauty.
On my way,
unexpectedly, Spring I met herself just passing by
very surprised I was indeed
when
to my dismay, I noticed that her sparkling
vitality had gone. She looked like an old maid!
No longer was she beauty's incarnation-
her face was grim, the light in her eyes dim
and her lips tight were because of much pain
thus just sadness, desolation, and melancholy
remained.
Saddened
by Spring's deplorable appearance,
cautiously I approached her and as
politely as I could, asked in this way:
"Oh ethereal spring
whose beauty is admired by the Gods and
by all mortals alike
may I ask you why in this condition
do I you find?
Spring
in desperation looked at me and after
pausing for a while, these words managed
to utter with a sigh:
"I am mourning the death of my mortal friends
who so anxiously have been waiting for my coming
but
now that I am here they, unfortunately, cannot
witness my blooming!"
Thus replied Spring and paused for a moment.
It was then
that I detected on her lips a faint smile as
her eyes turned towards the sky,
whispering these words at the same time:
" Rest in peace, my beloved friends,
for although you have missed my arrival,
I promise to each of you a flower to grow,
a flower, to keep you company
in
the eternal spring of paradise!"
