Spring slips in on a tepid breeze, gently swaying the naked trees. And She smells so sugary sweet, Her scent makes my heart skip a beat. Dressed in varying shades of green, She brings color to ink the scene. And melts ice and snow with Her breath, fueling life and thwarting death. Running Her fingers through my hair, I feel Her presence everywhere. And when Her touch tickles my skin, that feeling morphs into a grin. She polishes the sun's faint rays as songbirds flock to sing Her praise. And daffodils and tulips sprout where Winter's frozen ground thaws out. Transforming snowflakes into rain; Spring quenches life's thirst yet again. And Nature responds to Her call, celebrating Her first rainfall.

So charming Emile and so true. Spring does wear many shades of green. Was driving in the Rockies one spring and passed a mountainside where the mature aspen leaves were dark green, the aspens in the middle of the mountain we a light shade of green and leaves at the top of the mountain were the palest of greens. Thank you for reviving with wonderful memory. Congrats and high fives for your win.. Blessings in the many shades of green to you my friend!
