the emergence

First just a whisper,

the yellows emerge.

dandelion, daffodil, forsythia

tender shoots of green

testing

the waters.

ThenAllAtOnce

A

Boon

of

Blooms

violets, ground ivy, perfume of lilac

the

yellows

and

purples

dance

heralding spring,

welcoming all others

to come forth and sing—

their colors a joyful

harmony.
