Leaves of the lilacs

Leaves of the lilacs

Leaves of the lilacs, a kernel,

infant shoots of this Springtime

awakening in brilliance, in glory,

our hope, a yearning for Summer,

now bursting into life, our view.

Leaves of the lilacs, its branches

a contrast of shades, of colors,

intertwined, mingling

cocoa, khaki and chartreuse

juxtaposed, sharing my view.

Leaves of the lilacs, ready,

a change of the seasons

awakening, surging, shining,

cold giving way to Spring,

alive, exploding into view.
