Softness of Spring

Soft

In the spring 

nature revives herself 

with softness

while i’m writing a book

from a bright window seat

as the sun softly sets in the horizon,

the pitter-patter of a drizzly rain 

the evening makes me jump 

and dance upon the grass,

freshly cut sweet grass that smells

of a mixture of petrol and earth 

from the lawn-mower,

A lawn that hosts an easter-egg hunt,

while an easter bunny rabbit,

hops with floppy white ears for good luck

under cherry tree blossoms lining the driveway,

blossoms that flutter and fly in 

a gentle afternoon breeze 

Uplifting my energies,

Like a cup of warm green tea

in a hand-crafted, glazed cup 

Alongside gooey chocolate chip cookies 

crumbling in my hand 

melting in my mouth.
