SPRING’S BOUQUET

Evening light dapples new growth

In silence of coming night.

Bringing alive purple and pink

Peering through foliage tight.

 

In somber reverence

My heart stood still

Filling up new memories

To remember at will.

 

A magical touch of early Spring,

As if stardust brushed the leaves.

Fronds of ferns of delicate lace,

Their beauty my eyes see.

 

A cobbled path winds its way

Meandering through bows and ferns.

In quiet stillness a settled presence

For which my heart doth yearn.

 

In bridal white trilliums blossom,

Fragile… pure…divine…

Bowed as if in silent humbleness

In thanks for being created so fine.

 

Their dazzling brilliance causes my smile

At the delight they offer so free.

Their glory is, that they bloom

For the two or three days we see.

 

And bluebells ring in silent song

That only the heart can hear.

In royal majesty decorate the earth

Like bits of God scattered near.

 

And bleeding hearts oversee all

As with an ever watchful eye,

Robed in pink with drops of lace

Catching light from the evening sky.

 

And bright red tulips join the dance

Of Spring’s awesome debut.

A presentation of heartfelt love

From God, to me and you.

 

Thank You God for seasons!

Thank You God that my favorite season is always the one I’m experiencing.

Thank You God that You are such an awesome Creator.

Thank You God for the beauty of today.

 

HAVE A GREAT SPRING WHEREVER YOU MAY LIVE!

GOD BLESS YOU.

P.S.  Remember to open your eyes to what is around you!
