SPRING

Spring

In Close Conversation

White lilac tangle
Flamboyant rose red
Not unravelled by
Last night’s wild winds

Flowers In quiet conversation
Sweetly intimate
Perfume more than jasmine
Scenting, calling out

A butterfly unfolds wings
Finds refuge in blossoms
Bees anxious harried
Rustling quick nectar

Colours bold, not muted
Glimpses of fleeting spring
Elusive sounds, fragrances
Beckon speedy summer
