Spring Draws Her Veil of Greening…

As Spring draws her veil of greening…

As Spring draws her veil of greening
Across the winter bare landscape
Hiding the naked trees as her
Veil cloaks her virginal body

Buds waiting for the gentle touch
As spring draws her veil of greening
The trees turning to subtle mauve
In eager anticipation

April showers have quickened the
Rising sap that swells the tree pulse
As Spring draws her veil of greening
And May sunshine smiles down on her

In a scant week the tints of mauves
Are lost to each tree’s special shade.
Confetti of blossom sprinkled
As Spring draws her veil of greening.

    I love the way it changes… but soon it is all summer green, and all those shades are lost.

    My favorite season! I love this part of your quatern:

    Confetti of blossom sprinkled
    As Spring draws her veil of greening.
