SPRING

Life blossoms all around me; primordial

colours of the Sun dance upon

my fingers, spirited steps born of pride in

Nature's artwork grace this oasis

of birth and incandescent song.

Vaughan Williams' lark ascends to meet

yellow wagtails' marigold notes

in my own varicoloured safe haven.

Glorious Spring! Every nook and cranny

holds poems waiting to be set down.

Garlands of pink cassia take their last bow,

lace cool, green carpets this day,

their interim resting place, for they are

fated to sustain Summer's growth.

Nestlings, puppies gamboling on the grass,

growing hives, budding verse, promise.....

Myriad bleeding blooms rest upon frozen

mountain slopes in a faraway land.

Myriad gardens in faraway lands will not

know Spring this year.

Far away.

Life has chosen me, I know not why.

In a while, I shall deadhead my coral roses.
