spring thoughts

spring has come
again
another year has turned
tender flowers slowly open
surrounded by green grasses
drinking in cool showers
the scent of daphne on the breeze
the valley blooms
beneath frosted mountains
the brown drought a memory
held only by dead trees
i marvel at transformation
such beauty makes me giddy
its fragility
only enhances
poured out with abandon
for the joy to come
though love be crushed
rejected and denied
the reminder of spring comes
new life awaits
though forsaken
though buried
love will triumph
