Landscape glistens white
Winter gift-wrapped for one day—
Melting tomorrow
Calendar page turns
Blistering heat dome moves in—
Spring’s ironic script
Thunderstorm descends
Torrential raindrops blossom—
Floodgates spring to close
Radiant sunrise
Landscape springs forward with hope—
Goodbye winter blues
Refreshing rebirth
Creation’s blessed treasures—
Spring’s salvation blooms
Spring’s welcoming breath
Waking from winter’s slumber—
Freshened with color
From the words of American naturalist, writer and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau: “Nature is but another name for health, and the seasons are but different states of health.”
Nature’s own therapy
Spring’s refreshing garden
Filled with colors of peace
Bearing life’s fresh pardon
Daily snapshot of hope
Each replenishing choice
Picked from nature’s goodness
Sharing next calming voice
Prime time’s blessed season
Signs of spirit reborn
Focused on healing light
Escaping from life’s thorns
Source of brighter outlook
Images praise with joy
Sweetened inspiration
Renewing vows deploy
Love accents morning air
Slightest breeze coming forth
Destined for harmony
Creating life’s true north
Postponed adventures
Rushing to Mother’s kitchen—
Freshly baked cookies
Child protests bedtime
“Gonna stay up all night long”
Stardust dreams fly in
Springtime approaching
Arriving any day now—
Playfulness rising
Dressing in layers
Furnace running at top speed—
Now, who loves winter?
Kitchen’s window view
Yard’s relentless, frozen scene—
Calendar says “Spring”
Welcomed arrival
Spring bursting with treasured breath—
Red robin flies in
Frozen tundra’s cold
Fireplace consumes final log—
When will winter end?
Sunny skies, all blue
Winter’s Arctic deception—
Days of lasting chills
Warm, westerly winds
Chinook’s welcome arrival—
Winter’s escape plan
Mountain’s deep snowpack
Creeks feeding mighty rivers—
Living waters flow
Gathering each day
Birds’ welcoming harmony—
Perfection in song
Field planting finished
Another day filled with rain—
Farmers celebrate
Distant memory
Winter’s breath melted away—
Rebirth springing up
Crisp April morning
Afternoon promises warmth—
Daffodils dancing
Sun’s setting calmness
Another night, nature rests—
Guaranteed sunrise
Winter’s fading breath
Discovering light
One final snowflake
Springtime taking flight
Winter pushed aside
Taking rest once more
Moved from nature’s shelf
Change coming ashore
Time bursting forward
Sharpening each thought
Landscape’s fresh colors
Lessons being taught
Young and old smiling
Finding spring abloom
Nature turns its page
Song fills every room
Daylight grows longer
Feeling warmth each day
April showers come
May flowers will stay
Life’s faithful rhythm
Rising overnight
Harmony fills hearts
Love found at first sight
Morning’s freshness rises
Crooning familiar tune
Harmonizing each voice
Daylight now covers moon
Sunrise wakens landscape
Energizing life’s lease
Stirring every creature
Dawn’s breath sharing her peace
Robin redbreast flies in
Sharing first taste of spring
Closing winter’s last page
Transition’s chorus sings
Timid flora bravely stirs
Pushing up, not by chance
Adding fresh touch of green
Innocent day shall dance
Nature’s steady heartbeat
Craving season’s flavor
Looking toward summer
More blessings to savor
