A New Life

a Spring poem featured in an international anthology "Spring Anthology" By Brian Wrixon Books, Canada

A new beginning �"
Greets me while the Royal Sun
Beams brightly �"
Over immaculate white, cottony clouds
And sky-blue heavens above �"
I spotted a shy, red robin with a deep orange tail perched �"
On a fragile, thin branch
Of a beauteous, pink Cherry Blossom tree �"
Humming a rhythmic melody from my distant revelry �"
Of memories forever embedded on my mind,
Carried in my heart when I think of you.

Butterflies �"
They eagerly flock to where fragrant flowers abound �"
With colorful hues �"
Captivating strangers roaming around the prairie �"
Yes, a new beginning is at a glance
Gives the air a sweet smell of a blooming romance
Is it ok to take your hand and ask you to dance?
Among sunflowers that surround the green fields,
Orange and yellow tulips, dainty daffodils.
A new ray of Hope �"
Is at the horizon with the onset of Spring
A new life ahead �"
Of a once dull and meaningless existence,
Embrace the calming effect of a lovely Spring day �"
Bringing Hope, Faith and Peace 
Breathing new life, a fresh start!
