Spring’s Gentle Unfolding
Soft hues, the world anew,
Sun's warm light, bright and true.
Buds burst forth, colors bright,
Days stretch arms into night.
Gentle rains wash earth's face,
Life emerges from cold's embrace.
Birds return, melodies share,
Symphony of hope, light as air.
Petals unfurl, dance of birth,
Canvas painted with vibrant mirth.
Sorrows mend in this season,
Nature sings without end.

Spring’s Enchanted Murmur
Spring tiptoes in, light and fleet,
Recolors the world, grey to sweet.
Flowers nod in mild breeze,
April showers watch with ease.
Bare trees don verdant crowns,
Earth's mood lifts, joy abounds.
Birds weave air with cheerful sound,
Life brightens all around.
Sun's rays stretch, eager caress,
Days grow longer, light's increase.
Spring's call promises to bless,
Warmth after winter's cease.
