Springing Up
Observing budding flowers in the balmy rain
Rain falling heavily, cascading through drains
Drains are there for such a time as this
This is the moment, I think it is spring
Spring, that time we all feel free
Free to meander through the trees and fields
Fields are ready, ready for planting
Planting, sowing seeds, becoming excited
Excited because Spring is here
Here yes, seen in hedgerows, trees, leaves
Leaves start to grow and are transformed
Transformed from brown to green
Green grins through crops as they change
Change as in rapeseed, it starts to grow
Grow and later on it will flower to yellow
Yellow and orange the sun burns down
Down on the fields and dries the dew
Dew in the morning, as life is springing up
