Ode to Spring
Vales where blooms dare unfurl,
A tapestry of green unspools,
Every petal, leaf, and curl,
Spring rewrites the frosty rules.
She dances on zephyr's wings,
Adorning trees with verdant crowns,
Robins sing, as winter drowns,
Joy and life, her presence brings.
Sun's gaze rejuvenates the earth,
Awakens from slumber deep,
Light grows longer, warmth gives birth,
Life's symphony stirs from sleep.
Rivers freed, melodies flow,
Ripples play, a cheerful show,
Against the banks, their whispers grow,
In Spring's touch, they boldly glow.
Fields of gold and azure skies,
Canvas broad, she paints anew,
Strokes of color, winter defies,
With hues of vibrant, brightened view.
Spring’s transient, fleeting grace,
Renewal's power she displays,
In flowers, trees, and every face,
April showers, hope relays.
