first warm breeze,
confetti
flutters in the garden

first come the snowdrops,
followed by daffodils. 

A warm breeze arrives
on the coattails of tulips
and
pink cherry blossoms
release spring 

but, winter's final exhalation
unleashes one last storm
and white confetti swirls
around the lovers 

sitting,
hearts in flutters.
Experiencing life,
for the first time
in the garden
