a lithe ballerina
pink dogwood blossoms
streaming tresses
on pointe april
Pastels of flowers
oh to beginnings once more
light snow wedding day
lavender tulips rising
spring bride crowned in baby's breath
"And like a Spring flower be soft and beautiful, and
never, ever lose the courage and strength to bloom."
Quote by _ Constance
I love walking alone in the sweet springtide,
down forest paths overhanging with green trees;
where here and there, everywhere pretty birds glide,
oh, divine the lovely fragrant scented breeze !
I adore the fairy-like flowers swaying,
oh, gone is winter's terrible decaying;
and soon, I meet evenings purple twilight veil,
and on my path runs a rabbit cotton tail !
springtime
fresh feelings, hopes
robins pleading for worms
shadows discouraged by sunrise
springtide

gamboling along -
springtide lamb, pure, snowy-white,
ebony ears & face
the frolic, precious; a kid
skipping with vivacity

The final springing of the year
May well decay, anon, I fear;
The sun could flaunt its dusk, for then,
I've marked my three score years and ten.
The morning's fire has lit my days
And led astray in many ways.
But twilight dun will trespass when
I glean my three score years and ten.
Yet sadness nil will ill my cheer
About the springtide of the year;
And should I pray, as e'er I sleep,
My three score years and ten to keep.
Tulips send the signal of spring,
Crocus invites the birds to sing.
Daffodils in gentle breeze,
Happiness, they symbolize.
Love and prosperity these flowers bring.

Reflecting on the beauty
Found in a springtime morning
Laughter of the birds and trees
Colored my thoughts in sweetest promise
Observing the lovely creatures
That pass over mountains and valleys
I found myself thrilled by the way they move
Prancing and dancing through the paths of gentle joy
Pondering the azure skies
As soft, milky clouds saunter past
Serenity threw her blanket of hope all around
Left me feeling like I could do most anything there is
Anticipating the soothing rain falling
Lightening and thunder creating a rumbling
Eager to reveal the wonders of nature to me
Gentle waves of inspiration thrilled my heart and soul
Imagining the kindness of the buds
As they reach out from their tender branches
Caressing the dreams that bring such lovely peace
Breathing life into every little springtide petal or bloom
Soft
Petals
Rise thru snow
In pregnant blooms,
New ...
Greet
The sun
In bright plumes,
Dancing thru long
Eves.

lavender fields bloom
Springtide illuminates grace
fountains spray with youth
