KEY OF A 

Dawn's winds weave milky wisps
into cerulean veils, rippling mirrors
bestrew with shreds and patches. 

A snowy turtledove casts her pearly
paean to coral fringes, her placid 
eyes stained with selfsame brush.

Lapis swallowtails gather her pale
margarites, strings them onto silver
grey filaments, runic oblations bear
to yon hallowed amber orb.

Violet irises preen in velvet picotee
gowns, blazing citrine rays drench
their purple bodices, trickle down 
frilled skirts.

Anemones, in Aphrodite's tears 
bathed, in plummy ruby of Adonis' 
blood arrayed, ambrosial verse 
chant to love everlasting.

Daughters of the wind in amethyst
circlets proffer perfumed wine laced
with berry notes in petal goblets. 

Celestial benefaction rains upon
Nature; awash in a symphony of hues,
tones, treasures, Earth, 
this Springtide, is redeemed.
