This February smuggled lots of sun,
confusing birds and roses in my garden.
It seems that spring had now truly won
and winter asks unwittingly for pardon.
This year it had lost without a fight:
the days, which were short and often dark,
expand and saturate air with light.
Oh, welcome, welcome, chirping of the lark!
Oh welcome, this unusual weather spree!
Magpies are busy, making their nest,
across allotments, on the highest tree,
investing their energy with zest.
Oh, welcome, pearly skies, and green grass shoots,
and swelling buds, and even gusts of wind -
all those warmer weather’s attributes
that with the joys and optimism are twinned.
It’s easier to breathe and to be glad,
for even in the clouds magic dwells.
Soon in the blossom branches will be clad,
they'll fill the air with exquisite smells.
Oh, mystery of seasonal delights
with its enigma of creative force!
The nature’s shifting moods and changing sights
make thinking of its origin and source.
It fills the heart with knowledge that’s beyond
the observation of my eyes or ears,
which, making deeper with creation bond,
to the Creator all my thoughts adheres.
