Blossom

I woke up from deep slumber

Reviving from past embers

A blossom smiled through the window 

Dew drops like pearlsShining on the ocean

A beacon of hope 

After a dreary bleak night

Isit spring already

Or an illusion in my malady 

The blossom smiled again 

The wrath of winter I dare

I mock the gloom

With my fearless fare

With my beauty burst

For joy and revelry I thirst 

I shall mock 

The shadowy skies

Never will drown in disdain 

The little blossom 

Brought sunshine in my life

I left behind the shadows.
