The buds of spring are a beginning <br />for the green leaves of summer <br />and the sparkling colours <br />that will soon greet our eyes. <br />The warm winds and gentle rains <br />will remove the harshness of winter’s gloom <br />and help the birth of new flowers blooms. <br />We’ll leave behind the long darkness <br />as we wake to days of summer’s sun. <br />The feelings of goodness <br />will inherit the heart <br />and smiles will ring out <br />with the warmth of colours <br />that will greet our eyes. <br /> <br />25-26 February 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/warm-winds-and-gentle-rains/
