The daffodils

 



Oppressive winters frost
hardened the ground and the heart
with the blooming of
the daffodils
now set to depart.
the coming
hope's spring
the sun and renewal
the treasures of life the rising will bring.
life and death
locked in duel
but victory to joy
in the 'merry  month of may'
verdant greens claim  the day.
leaves to life
 health of harmony
 a fresh chapter of the biosphere's story.
