The sun shines from above br As the wind teases the leaves br Urging them to dance. br As they gently sway br A Rosella returns to its nest br br The flowers that had lain dormant br Now awaken, reaching upwards br Drawing strength from the sun br Its buds open unfurling br To become the a perfect bloom br br There is a feeling in the air br Of anticipation, exhilaration. br Smiles on the faces of strangers br The days are longer br And the evenings more inviting. br br Walking through the park br A blaze of colour captures the eyes. br Such tranquility in their beauty. br The scent of the rose is released to the air br There to linger invitingly. br br A heart that was once shadowed. br Now touched by the warmth of the sun br Finds joy in the picture before it. br Opens up to a new beginning. br This is the onset of spring.
