Flowers in Spring
Me and you
In the lap of the mountains,
Under the watchful eyes
Of Mother Nature
The vast spread of forest
Beckoning us with open arms.
The petunias, the dahlias,
The gladioli, the flocks
The poppies, the hollyhocks.
The butterflies like pansies,
The bridal white of daisies,
The cacti in variety crazy
Intoxicating us with exotic colours
and a vivid mix of fragrance.
The parakeets and pheasants,
The chorus of crickets,
Bees, mites and insects.
Amidst the scintillating view
Of tall towering pines,
Fills our hearts
With abiding joy.
I throw my arms up
Watching the radiance of
The morning Sun
And give a cry of exhilaration.
