Early Spring’s Breath
Upon a canvas, pale and wide,
The early spring dares to confide.
A brush of green on branches bare,
A subtle hint of warmth in air.
Crocus tips in frosty beds,
Peek to sky their gentle heads.
Robins trill a merry tune,
Underneath the waning moon.
Ice retreats with silent grace,
Sunlight finds a stronger place.
Each day grows with soft intent,
In early spring's quiet ascent.

Dawn of Spring
Softly, the thawing earth sighs,
As winter's cloak slowly unties.
Sun's shy caress on frosted ground,
A silent promise, newly found.
Buds yawn open, crisp and clear,
To sunlit days drawing near.
Streams babble their icy retreat,
In melodies both soft and sweet.
Birds weave songs through the air,
A chorus sprung from everywhere.
The sky, a canvas of lightest blue,
Holds the sun's golden hue.
In this dawn of spring's embrace,
Nature wears a smiling face.
Each moment a brushstroke of grace,
In the masterpiece we softly trace.
