The Thunder of March

After months of blistering cold,

And days of ice blanketing all,

The seasons usher in change anew

The sun gleams in the vibrant blue sky,

Melting the last remnants of winter's wrath

The golden rays beam down,

Washing everything in their light

Sheets of rain pour down,

Watering the earth and sky,

Leaving a familiar, damp scent behind

The continuous showers

Pave the way for April flowers,

Blooming in all their resplendent glory

The sweet aroma of blossoms,

Carried along a gentle breeze,

Lingers throughout the crisp, clear air,

Stagnant no longer

The verdant vegetation renews, even stronger

The warm weather feels like a blessing

To all life, including the birds nesting

The reign of March thunders in a new season,

Earth welcomes it with arms wide open
