Springtime en la Primavera

Springtime en la Primavera

Soft rain,
Falling gently to earth
Asking it permission to melt the final remnants of winter

                                    Neblina fina,
Cubriendo el aire que respiro
Llenando mis pulmones con esperanza de un nuevo comienzo

Gentle breezes,
Swaying branches to and fro
Caressing the sleeping giants with the familiar cycle of life

                                   El sol de la mañana,
Brillando con furia
Proclamando su tierra como el más fuerte león

Birds singing,
Announcing their arrival from a distant journey
Emerging victorious over the tentacles of heaven


                                   Semillas valientes,
Cosechando en la tierra su promesa de un maravilloso amanecer
                                                           Levantando el mundo con los colores del arco iris

Morning dew,
            Quenching the land with illusions of starting over
Painting blades of grass like its personal canvas

           Rios humildes,
                       Buscando abrigo para miles de ocupantes
                                   Navegando sus aguas con paciencia abundante

Budding daffodils,
            Meander towards the sky looking for reassurance
                        Capturing the purest colors of the afternoon sun

Springtime en la primavera,
Awakening the planet from deep hibernation
           Transformando nuestras vidas para empezar de nuevo
