As gardens explode, with colours of spring
Birds in trees, with sweeter voices sing
Lift passion for nature, once winter-dull
Time of re-birth, after a winter's cull

Trees twig bare, though with hints of buds
Adorn spindled branches, as soil-dried-mud
Nurtured bulbs wait chance, bursting to life
Frost won't overpower, like a frozen knife.

Bushes and shrubs, already lead the parade
Of colourful spring, mirror carnival raid
Urban green-grey, becomes a living rainbow
Surreal in its beauty, only nature can sow.

Dead life will soon, be discarded-forgotten
Fresh life takes hold, after winter's treason
The past fades away, as the seasons rotate
Turning a calendar, towards a sunny date.....
