Sunlight slips through orange leaves,
warm as a whispered hello.
In Florida spring, the air
doesn't wake suddenly—
it stretches.
Palms sway like slow dancers
beside quiet blue canals,
and the breeze carries salt
from a patient, breathing sea.
White egrets step through the marsh
like careful thoughts,
while somewhere far off
a boat hums across glassy water.
Bougainvillea climbs fences in bright laughter—
pink, coral, flame—
as if the earth itself
decided to celebrate color.
Even the rain arrives softly,
a brief silver curtain
that cools the sunburned afternoon
before vanishing into warmth again.
And when evening settles,
gold dissolves into violet skies.
Frogs begin their small orchestra,
fireflies write gentle sparks in the dusk.
This is spring here—
not a shy beginning,
but a long, glowing breath
between sun and sea. 🌴🌸
