Zephyr
"the gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer, kisses the blushing leaf."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Spring arrives upon gentle Zephyr air.
softly kisses new leaves,
Whispers greetings for birds to share,
shoos snowy thieves.
Scent of new flowers hides in Zephyr's hair,
as new seedlings she checks
She calls sunshine for weather fair,
melt winter's flecks.
Birds fly from winter nests in Zephyr skies
set to build a new nest.
First, a partner catching their eyes,
spring does the rest.
A lovely world forms of greens, subtle golds,
and sweet bird songs surround.
Springtime's magic Zephyr unfolds
joy all around.
