scene of so many memories
and observe a robin flutter
from the Japanese Maple tree
whose purple leaves dance in the spring breeze
as butterflies flicker over red tulips.
Nearby lie beautiful indigo periwinkles
and primroses with their yellow hearts
with a white exterior.
The sky is azure after months of grey
and the cat rolls onto her back.
Yet the view holds a certain melancholy
for it's a paradise which cannot last,
a magical time...but gone far too fast.
