Flowers have already churned through their entire life cycle
Although some leaves and petals hold their core as the rain showers down
Like always it casts a grumpy feel to the crisp and moist air
But when I finally and reluctantly step outside for once
These blossoms and branches the colors of forests and sunshine
Have held strong in maintaining the hope that the summer sun
Is just around the corner
