Spring blossoms
so strong
so vibrant
so beautiful!
so fragile!
The climax of winter’s long
hibernation of design
culminating
in such beauty, color, and variety
too numerous to count
as they scatter the open fields
like stars in the sky
too precious to hold
like a baby fast asleep
They are wisped away
in an instant
wilted by a single frost
All the work and preparation of winter
gone as quickly as they came
But ah….the fruit!
So sweet!
So generous!
To last all summer and sustain
us for next winters’ barren nights
