The sleepy earth begins to stir and sigh,
As winter’s icy breath prepares to fly.
A gentle warmth descends, a tender grace,
And tiny buds unfurl in every place.
The birds return, a symphony of sound,
As vibrant colours paint the waking ground.
Soft breezes dance through newly leafed-out trees,
Carrying whispers on the hopeful breeze.
Life bursts anew, a promise fresh and bright,
Bathing the world in golden, vibrant light.
Love’s Gentle Art
It’s not a whisper, nor a sudden blaze,
But quiet sunshine through our winding days.
A subtle current, deep and ever true,
That paints the ordinary skies anew.
Love finds the light in shadows, soft and deep,
A tender promise that the soul will keep.
It mends the broken, eases every sting,
And gives the weary spirit cause to sing.
Through every season, constant and profound,
It builds a haven on solid ground.
A silent language, understood by all,
That answers life’s most gentle, hopeful call.
So let it bloom, this beauty from above,
The timeless, transformative power of love.
The golden age of childhood
In tiny hands, a world so vast and new,
Where every moment paints a vibrant hue.
A heart unburdened, pure as morning dew,
Believing magic in all that they pursue.
With laughter bubbling, clear and unrestrained,
Imagination’s castles, finely sustained.
No yesterday to haunt, no future to impart,
Just present joy, stamped on a tender heart.
Barefoot on grass, chasing the sun’s warm light,
Eyes wide with wonder, burning ever bright.
A simple truth in every innocent plea,
The purest form of wild, untamed glee.
Oh, golden age, a fleeting, precious gleam,
Life’s sweetest, most enchanting, waking dream.
