Spring is near
Peter V. Dugan
as snow melts away
soil thaws, becomes soft and moist
green sprouts welcome warmth
green sprouts welcome warmth
trees await their new wardrobes
buds ready to bloom
buds ready to bloom
birds sing from limbs and branches
croon songs of courtship
croon songs of courtship
sweet sounds of life fill the air
as Winter's grays fade
as Winter's grays fade
new colors emerge daily
nature born anew
nature born anew
promise, rebirth and wonder
as snow melts away
Spring is near by Peter V. Dugan.
