THE AMBLING STREAM

 

The early morning sun

Glints on the ambling stream

Where the Kingfisher hunts

And lovers go to dream

REFRESHING SPRING

 

Refreshing spring

The season of renewal

When nature will release

Her early jewels

SPRING

 

As spring comes around again

With its abundant falling rain

The rolling hills of luscious green

Are most pleasing to be seen

And with the renewal of spring

The heart lifts as if taking wing

When Daffodils break through

And spring flowers of every hue

Is there a better time on earth

To feel wealth of nature’s worth

SPRING IS HERE

 

Before the dawn has fully broken

I am all at once awoken

By wondrous songbird symphony

Though to some it is cacophony

But to hear the dawn chorus

Singing songs, loud and joyous

So, my heart is simply soaring

For the season that I’m adoring

Now that its Spring my heart is lifted

For another Spring that God has gifted

When daffodils burst from the ground

And in the breeze, they dance around

Grass is growing lush and green

The greenest that it has ever been

And with cherry blossom on the tree

Spring is here for all to see

CYCLE OF LIFE

 

God’s great cycle of life’s repeating

Springtime’s annual event occurring

As distant mountain snow is thawing

Fast flowing swollen rivers causing

Dormant Mother Nature awakening

The miracle of new life into breathing

With freshly sprouting shoots arriving

And simple sights the senses pleasing

To see the early cherry blossoming

Perfection as in God’s design believing

THE GREEN SEASON

 

Abundant rain

And warm sunshine

Paints the landscape afresh

Replacing the drabness

Of greys and browns

When the greens appear

In their infinite variety

Nature’s pallet used abundantly

Greens of every hue and shade

Fields of luscious green grasses

Trees speckled with bright buds

Like a vivid rash

Against brown limbs

Hedgerows sprout into life

While bulbs push through

The contrasting earth

Everywhere awash with viridity

Only in spring

Can the same colour

Appear in so many guises

So many variations

A veritable myriad

Across the spectrum

From dark olive to bright lime

Drab khaki to exotic emerald

Shades vivid and vibrant

And all this is but a pre cursor

Preparing the senses

For the coming

Explosion of colour

MORNING GLORY

 

It was in the bright spring morn

The birds awoke at crack of dawn

Though the light was still dim

They hop twixt branch and limb

Day begins with the dawn chorus

And starts the day for all of us
