A Whiff of Spring
Spring comes in:
trees, wild flowers and
blades
of grass fill my nostrils.
I rejoice that Nature is
retrieving
its path from winter’s ice
and snow…
My heart is stirred
by the colorful embroider
of butterfly wings and the
hum
of bees in clover fields…
I echo from my heart a praise
that I am here once more
to celebrate the season
I love so much.
