Do you see how the world is beginning to bud?
Sparkling white dust starts to melt away from the snow
Water begins to creep away from it's capture
Flowing freely
Warm rain falls from the fluffy pink-colored clouds that float about in the light blue sky
Leaves from the trees begin to bud
Flowers and bugs arise from the soil
Butterflies emerge from their chrysalis
Ants drag food to their hills
Baby birds learn how to fly
Gardens become flourished once again
Their gardeners tending to the roots and crops
Farmers plant fresh seeds
Bees dance around in their hives to communicate with each other
Collecting pollen from newly risen flowers
People trim bushes and mow the lawn, beginning spring cleaning
Frogs start to unthaw from the winter
Tadpoles swimming in the water of the pond
Maple is harvested, placed in jugs, and served to many
Sometimes they're eaten along with ice-cream
The northern lights put on a show at night for those who admire its beauty
Several animals go from light toned to dark toned for the upcoming seasons
Everything in spring is beautiful
No matter where you are
Where you live
Or where you've come from
There's always a brighter light at the end of the everlasting fall of the white dust
And at times, more than others
You'll wonder how much
This season really means to us
And as the snow melts away
We too can be like water
Flowing freely
After the capture
The world is starting to bud
