In Pink

Fresh starts in time so short

An artist’s tender palette captures contrasts of azure skies and peridot sprouts

Ever fleeting wisps exchanging winter for spring

Budded growth lets go for footed ground

‘Neath limbs once full of dainty flora

Petals drift and float with soft breeze and gusty wind

Flurries of rosy pink blankets fall on moistened earth awaiting fresh growth
