Spring


Janet Kuypers
1983
Spring
Hundreds of
Daffodils
in a
sunburst
of colors

Waving

Back
and
forth

in the
gentle
breeze
that cools
everything
under the
sun

the sun

shining
brighter
than ever
before

the world
is waking
up

after a
dormant
six month
sleep

it is the
first
morning
of
a
new
season

spring
