Garments

spring sprouts its wings, taking flight
with lilies and hyacinths and tulips
a host of color against a backdrop of green
we take a slow stroll past the gardens
where they highlight the house, the garage,
ever so demure in the shyness of opening buds
soon we will give them over to the bees
to spread pollen and cast their scent
for a longer distance than we might suppose
yet spring gives life and renewal to the earth
renewal to all things that have rested
in sequestered silence until now
and we gladly accept the rebirth of the sun
as it plants gentle kisses across the face
of the earth as she turns to look

at the fine garments she possesses
