The Green Velvet

By Nidah Chatriwala

Spring paints the world with freshness.
Hints of winter evaporate as life blossoms in the depressed forests.

Flowers dance with the winds joyfully.
Bunnies hop around wildly.

Fluffy clouds smile down from the bright blue sky.
Birds chirp hello while frost turns into streams leaving with a silent goodbye.

The green velvet embraces the rugged earth.
Sleepy animals come out of hiding to continue their search.

The season of hope and renewal is here.
After the rain, everything is now clear.

Step onto the green velvet and sing
Find the road to a new beginning.
