Ode to Spring

In vales where blooms dare to unfurl,
A tapestry of green unspools,
With every petal, leaf, and curl,
Spring's breath rewrites the frosty rules.

She dances in on zephyr's wings,
Adorning trees with verdant crowns,
In her wake, the robin sings,
And winter's gloom she deftly drowns.

Beneath the sun's rejuvenating gaze,
The earth awakes from slumber deep,
In lengthening light and warming days,
Life's symphony stirs from its sleep.

Rivers, once silenced, freely speak,
Their melodies in ripples flow,
Against the banks, they playfully peek,
In Spring's embrace, they boldly grow.

Fields of gold, and azure skies,
A canvas broad, she paints anew,
With strokes of color, she defies,
The monochrome of winter's hue.

Spring, in her transient, fleeting grace,
Reminds us of renewal's power,
In every flower, tree, and face,
Lies the promise of an April shower.
