the voice of spring

whose voice is this

  that i hear  

     across the woods

      beyond the tall trees

        tall green and magnanimous 

          a melodius lilt 

            floating in the air 

             that makes the cuckoo stare

                bewildered 

                  and amazed 

                    when the light filtered in 

        peeping through the large broad leaves 

           for the flowers to receive love

             and spread their hues

               the magenta pink violet and blue

                 along with the yellow 

                   and orange of the happy pollen

to colour the earth a little brighter 

    and vibrant 

      enlightening the mind

        invigorating with fresh energies 

the one who's driving everyone crazy

    beautiful as a daisy

      making all break into a broad smile

        lending peace and calm 

          to the troubled mind of the autumn 

              when merging into fall

who patiently waits 

     at the colourful doorstep

         while i wait 

           to open the gates ajar 

             welcoming in 

               love's sweet fragrances from afar

splashing across a trail of colours

     streaming in with the crisp air 

        dancing with the tulips 

            dahlias and daffodils

               just when the cuckoo sings 

lush and so full of warmth 

   steps in

       the sun-drenched 

           sweet-smelling 

              ever cheerful

                 the romantic spring
