Yearn

Oh, how I yearn, blossoms of spring
When nights are mired in wintry freeze
And days shudder, as zephyrs zing,
Where fall decayed in frozen breeze.

As meadows ache of dormant dreams
Oh, how I yearn, blossoms of spring
And prairies rushing giggling streams
When songs of romance robins sing.

While shivering trees snowflakes cling
And barren hills long verdant glee,
Oh, how I yearn, blossoms of spring
Where chasing nectar monarchs spree.

When buds winsome of season please
Sprouting trees that rustle and swing,
As tranquil green foothills appease;
Oh, how I yearn, blossoms of spring.

This is the most melodious song of spring that I have ever heard, my dear friend, Vijay. I know it is too late but for me is a Fave. God bless you!

This should be a song. If I had my ukulele, and can still play, I would have loved to play this. So beautifully written, my friend. I love it :)
