Hesitating buds peek life colour
into a faltering winter’s grasp
spiralling glimpses of white and pink hues,
heralding Spring with
expanding frills of silk softness,
layered branches bow cloud covered,
petals
drop
delicately
drifts cover pathways
coat new-green grass in the
false winter memories
of snow flakes.

Bees and tourists with cameras
buzz close to the trees,
stamens and smiles are captured,
Spring’s blossom warmth
is scattered by bikes, runners,
walkers and winds,
waking the world
to new life.
