Welcome to Spring!

on March 20, 2013

Love’s Presence

The soothing breath of spring
In its light of innocence
Suffuses the meadows
With a hint of tenderness

Nature’s arms embrace
The warmth of the sun
As buds and blossoms
Awaken with the dawn

Within winter’s wake
Fields and forests come alive
Stretching and yawning
As flora and fauna arrive

Freshness of the air
Bares the arrivance
Of new beginnings
In winter’s absence

Lovers solemnly stroll
Arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand
Admiring magical wonders
Within splendor of the land

Beauty of springtime
Void of the bitter cold
Propels love’s presence
Deep down into the soul

“In springtime, love is carried on the breeze. Watch out for flying passion or kisses whizzing by your head.”

  4. We didn’t have much of a winter here in Northeast Texas. But, the weather has been pleasantly cool these past few days.

  5. Beautiful poem although, of course, we’re on our way into Autumn here.

  6. What a nice way to begin the morning!! We still have snow on the ground here in Massachusetts with word we can expect a little more in the next day or two.

    Can you name the man who did the voice for Bambi’s father? I rather pride myself in knowing voices so I confirmed my assessment of the voice I heard on your clip and was correct. It was aPatrick Stewart, “John-Luc Picard” on Star Trek Next Generation fame.

    Beautiful poem! We’re starting out spring with rain and snow mixed. Now if we could just mix up some butterscotch pudding, I would be a happy camper!

  13. You have such a natural way of making a beautiful poem and bringing the reader into it to visualize what you are saying.

  14. […] in the springtime Initiates visions without stopping Greening hills, warming sun Buds erupting and wildflowers […]
