Spring hides in the curve of the crocus

Spring hides in the curve of the crocus, it quivers in the branches of the pussy willows as they move in the cool breeze. 

It lurks in the dried parchment husks covering the daffodils before they bloom.  Spring is released from the trumpets of the narcissi's as they open and immediately flits to the cherry blossoms to bestow a kiss.

Spring wades through the blue grape muscari, drinking nectar from their rounded cups. Spring waits for the perfect moment, and when the lilac first blooms it alights and set off a galaxy of fragrance.

Spring dances in the sunlight’s diamonds, water drops that coat the grass.  Catches a ride on the furry paws of the cats as they go on their morning rambles.

Spring dances in the flowers that bend towards the light.

Spring celebrates life.
