Calm, light, and breezy

Are the spring winds

Carrying the pollen soaked air westward.

The radiant petals of the hyacinths begin

To emanate in an ostentatious parade of color

Offering an alluring perennial gesture.

Gliding on the rising air

In a brevity of floatation

And devouring the solitude of the winter freeze,

The winds soar

With a new elevation

And the ice thaws with a gentle ease.

Free-wheeling walks amongst naked shrubs

As newly fluttering dragonflies flood the airways.

Hair waving on a cool ride along a mountainside

Weaving though the tendrils wrapped around the hovering branches

Of orange and passion fruit,

While the solemn pallor of winter begins to subside.

Laying in solace

Brooding over the sunset,

Sky splashed with a cool scarlet.

The candlelit reflections of the wind

Wipe away regret

And awaken the effluent scent of a new spring.
