Springtime--By Phyllis Babcock--Canada

Springtime

The mist dissipates no longer shades of white
 As sun breaks through with lemon light
Shadows begin to blur and shimmer
As a new day overtakes the dawn
The drab colorless landscape regains color
Another season awakens from its slumber
Bringing forth new growth of spring
After the harshness of winter
Nature continues to flourish
It's balance highly maintained.
