spring has come again.

there\'s a slight breeze on your cheek

a small, subtle thing

the type that makes you close your eyes

and just

breathe in.

 

you can hear the ruffling of the budding leaves

growing from the joyous trees

hummingbirds perched on its canopies

singing their jubilant harmony

which blends with the sounds of the whistling branches

until it becomes nature\'s most beautiful symphony.

 

there\'s the subtle taste of springtime on your lips

the sweet tang of freshly-made honey on your tongue

fresh and nectarous

enveloping your senses until it\'s all you can feel

a reminder of nature\'s comforting promise

that the flowers will bloom again

 

you can smell the tender bloom of roses in the air

bright and loving

its fragrance is carried by the wind

mingling with the warmth of the sunlight

and the aroma of the freshly-cut grass

mixed into a delicate perfume that only spring could produce

 

you can feel the velvety comfort of the flower\'s petals pushing against your skin

the cold embrace of the grass at your fingertips

the warmth slipping between your hands

fleeting, delicate

like the tender breeze curling against your skin

making you feel whole with the humming of the earth

 

you slowly open your eyes

greeted with the buzzing and radiant world before you

the blossoms paint the earth with a delicate rainbow

the pinks, yellows, and blues swaying gently beneath the refreshing breeze

the sky encompassing the world in front of you, like a canvas of endless blue

and it makes you feel reborn

 

you breathe out

and smile

because you know

 

spring has come again.
