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…
