Winter moves aside
Spring rains water faithful seeds—
Summer flowers bloom
Backyard garden plot
This farmer never retires—
Hands in richest earth
Hearing crack of bat
Season of baseball returns—
Stealing one more base
Surely the flowers of a hundred spring are simply the souls of beautiful things.
Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring?
