Spring is bursting out all over.
Exploding firecrackers of wild intensity
beckon amidst the forty shades
of returning greens.
Canopies of pink and white
announce, prevail, glow.
Different stories:
returnees shout their promise
in jeweled carpets of blossom-
patches of vivid fragrant favorites invite:
Look at me!
Notice me!
I do…
I feel the warmth of the sun
on my back-
Under the blue sky, I am-
Wandering, wondering, marveling:
Nature’s bounty.
