Whistling In Meadows of Emerging Green

A new day of spring in cool breeze sprints 
As gentle winds glide with joy on their wings
Swaying gracefully from blossoming trees
Whistling in meadows of emerging green

Dawn welcomes me while rising up drizzling
Gathering in puddles and rushing in streams
Playing hide and seek with glimpses of sun
Roaming darkened vistas on cloudy horizon

As winter's end hears the call of my garden
Resurgence it sees of perennial vegetation
Dreaming of budding cherry blossom flowers
Blooming among lilacs, lavender and purple 

Happily you smile in exuberance that enlivens
Lakes and the rivers, and season's aspirations 
For you've heard the chatter of nesting birds
And buzz of honeybees relishing sweet nectar

When darkness cedes to golden bright sunrise
Mauve tinges soften the cobalt blue skyline
As sun's glow blushes in purview of your eyes
Scattering pink desires on fervid orange skies

After the bleak winter, spring's arrival in all beauty with sprinting breeze, blossoming flowers and perennial vegetation is a welcome change ! A poet like you can make all these indelible !

A joyful read and every image one to savor. Our spring is imminent. My daffodils are up on the fairy garden bank. The wind ruffled them today ......reminded me of that famous line....fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Thanks for sharing your beautiful poem.SuZ
