Spring’s Gentle Unfolding
In soft hues, the world begins anew, Under the tender gaze of the sun's warm light. Buds burst forth in colors bright and true, As days stretch their arms into the lingering night. Gentle rains wash the sleep from earth's face, Coaxing life from the grip of winter's cold embrace. Birds return, their melodies fill the air, A symphony of hope, floating without a care. Petals unfurl, a delicate dance of rebirth, Painting the canvas of land with vibrant mirth. In this season of renewal, all sorrows mend, As nature sings of beginnings that never end.

Spring’s Enchanted Murmur
Spring tiptoes in on light, fleeting feet, With a painter's touch, the grey world recolors, Flowers nod in breezes, mild and sweet, Under the watchful eye of April showers. Trees, once bare, now don verdant crowns, As if overnight, the earth's mood lightens, Birds weave the air with their joyful sounds, And in every corner, life brightens. The sun's rays stretch, eager to caress, Each day longer, a slow increase of light, In spring's soft call, there's a promise to bless, The world with warmth, after winter's night.
