Spring

Winter's almost over

Peeking out from under wisps of frost

Green buds spring to life


Ferns start to uncurl

I tentatively reach my hand out to caress one of them

Green leafed beauty, damp from morning dew

It hesitantly brushes against me 


The sweet scent of flowers starts off faint

then becomes an ever present lingering smell hanging in the springy air

Plants come to life

Blossoms bloom 

Bird chirps fill the air

Squirrels scamper up trees, waving their bushy tails

Rabbits nibble on grass


It's breathtaking 

What once was an icy blue and white winter wonderland

transforms into a vibrant forest blooming with life and color


What winter froze away rebounds in full force

Brittle brown trees become full of lush leaves

Dying flowers spread color across their limp petals

Skinny animals feed, filling their stomachs

Bunches of berries hang from bushes, gleaming in the light


I don't know how to say this, but...

I think I'm in love
