Spring Blossoms

Tentatively they begin - then one day they have arrived for our pleasure. So fleeting - but anticipated by many - the blossoming trees inspire me. I walk under them hoping a few petals will concede to land on my shoulders or head...signalling something special is coming into my life. I revel in the delicate smells as I wander down the tree lined streets of my neighbourhood. I admit to premeditating my wanders to coincide with trees just blooming now...or just finishing... for the new limey green leaves appear all too soon replacing the blossoms as my new wonder. Truly I also look forward to the infant green leaves slowly hardening and darkening into mature leaves whispering in the breeze. Only then will I know that spring is here and summer is on its lazy way.
