A Verdant Vision

One day for spring, is that enough?

Clouds veil the sun so it is tough

To plan a picnic in the park;

Long cycle rides soon lose their spark!

 

Spring green, however, paints the trees

Stems bob and curtsey in the breeze;

From winter’s deep sleep - birds awake:

Time to build nests and to mate!

 

Sense of renewal in the air

Despite Man’s folly, Spring is here!

Constant, faithful and all-knowing

Its cloak of velveteen Is showing!

 

Hope bathes in every mountain stream

And so, methinks, it’s always been

Dreams captured in a bright sunrise

Bringing joy to jaded eyes…
