Blue Violets



Spring springs, seedlings struggle seeking
Blossoms, hearts enchained in frozen soil
From long-mooned January snow storms.

Assured of their entry on life's stage
As if from some distant memory,
They are disdainful of hesitancies.

Enveloped within fragile blue rhapsodies
Of heavenly petals, they fear
Nothing, blissful at their core.

Perfumed goddesses, beautiful ones,
Unfurling petals in morning sunlight,
Clutching life abound, spirit shining,

Theirs is that once more vindicated faith
That fragile life fearlessly unfolds
Each splendid spring in blue violets.
