An Awakening In Spring Poem by DM W

The light is slowly expanding
After winter's prolonged shadowy reign.
The perfumed aroma of hyacinths
Floats on the fresh April breeze.
Rose pink & snow white blossoms are scattered
All over expectant avenues and streets.
Vibrant tulips are sprouting profusely
And there are violet strewn blessings
To spring's prodigious Muse.
Rejoice in Easter time of redemption
After the heartrending sorrows of Lent.
Spring's subtle awakening brings:
New lifeblood for the ancient ritual;
Vital wine to uplift the sovereign spirit;
And warm, transforming communion
After the time honoured, solemn ceremony.
