THE HILLSIDES IN MAY

 

No finer sight the eye will see,

Than the hillsides in May

A carpet of green spread out

So as to take your breath away

THE HIGH MELT

 

The high melt waters rush

Feeding springs annual event

As over the ancient rock

Water tumbles effervescent

As it heads inexorably to the sea

In its headlong descent

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
