Branches, barren for too long,
now sway in slightened breezes of warmth,
their dainty buds capping the ends.
Grasses dormant under winter's wrath,
poke defiantly forth in upwards determination
as they green forward from their dullness.
Stems, break once-frozen surfaces, unfolding
and climbing anxiously above,
stretching high, to reach the rays of life.
Newly born creatures scramble clumsily about,
testing long unfurled limbs,
while mother, vigilant, watches closely by.
Clouds of softened cottony wisps,
float languidly along
across a backdrop of cerulean depths.
Feathered friends trill their songs,
sweetly and subdued, in accompaniment
to the harmony of earth's lulling.
Upon nature's fragrant ballroom,
the performers twirl and frolic, uninhibbited.
Long-awaited, the Spring dance has commenced at last.
