Blossom

✿⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✿˚୨୧⋆｡˚⋆✿

She drifts through meadows soft with dew

her gown a swirl of petal light

She wakes the buds with whispered hues

and stirs the world from winter's night

✿⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✿˚୨୧⋆｡˚⋆✿

She scatters pink in cherry blooms

and paints the sky in robin blue

Her laughter rings through greening woods

where every leaf begins anew

✿⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✿˚୨୧⋆｡˚⋆✿

She twirls where crocus lanterns rise

their violet flames along her path

Her touch unravels winter's frost

and melts it into silver bath

✿⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✿˚୨୧⋆｡˚⋆✿

She hums a tune of warming earth

a song that stirs the sleeping seeds

And soon the fields erupt in bloom

to answer all her gentle needs

✿⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✿˚୨୧⋆｡˚⋆✿

She leaves a circle soft and small

of tiny blooms in pearly white

A whispered mark of where she danced

beneath the moon's forgiving light

✿⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✿˚୨୧⋆｡˚⋆✿

But whispers drift from distant hills

A hush of rain on budding trees

For Spring must share her tender reign

With Summer's slow advancing breeze

✿⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✿˚୨୧⋆｡˚⋆✿

Yet Blossom smiles, her work complete

the world reborn in vibrant gleam

She bows beneath the warming sun

and drifts into a fragrant dream

✿⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✿˚୨୧⋆｡˚⋆✿

Authors Note:

This poem was inspired by two things. First, I came across that fairy circle in my yard and immediately needed to take a picture because how stinkin cute?!

But after that, I remembered another poem I wrote for one of the challenges on Vocal. I loved writing it. I had never written a poem about fairies before but I have always loved them so much. After writing that, someone said I should write a book about fairies...

I didn't think too much about it because I already had and still have so many projects going on. But when I took that picture, this started taking shape in my head... so who knows? Maybe this will be a full series of little nature fairies!
