Leaden skies push all color from earth-
no longer is there room for such intensity-
occasional dark green now seems vibrant.
Earth appears lifeless, yet is merely slumbering –
dreaming of vernal equinox when once again she
startles us with inconceivable beauty and vitality-
With color from delicate to dazzling, flowers from fragile
to fabulous, and greens of every hue. Spring – a season
to lift spirits with its zeal for life.
