New-sprung life
Spreading
Scented carpets
Of paint-splashed
Lilies.
Sunlit showers
Bringing
Blush to cheek
Of maiden
Strawberries.
Crimson leaves
Swirling
Mid streams of
Gold all
Round.
Stars above
Twinkling
Down on blankets
Of powder
Snow.
Cycle complete
Whirling
In ceaseless circle
Of cosmic
Years.
