NATURE
Act I:
Elusive Spring stretches, awakes.
She offers another sunless day.
Cheerily, cherup, cherup, Robin sings.
Act II:
Afternoon brings fresh perspectives.
Sun moves through
leaving us breathless for more.
Act III:
Late afternoon, bees dance across dandelions.
Violas stand prim and proper.
Sun spills herself everywhere…
