Joyously vibrant,
blanketing my garden bed,
common winter weed.

Joyously vibrant,
blanketing my garden bed,
common winter weed.

Rain drops on roses,
whispering breeze in my ears;
winter in full bloom.

A protective arm
wrapping around tiny limbs;
winter sun on plants.

The sun never scorns
at flowers that are yellow;
nature complements.

Nurtured by the sun:
first flowers of the season;
smiling mother, earth.
