Dew drenched foliage
Awaits eagerly,
To see the display
Of the sun's festooned rays.

Symbols of celebrations
Are already showing vibrant images
Of a hundred luminous reasons:
To celebrate.

Colours enshrined in colours,
Within pollen and buds.
Clustered light beaming within flowers,
Encircling all of horizon's domain.

My heart is fully bathed
In Spring's season.
Throbbing, swaying, dancing!
Like a blossom of early morning day.
