The Inviting Spring

They glistened in the rain

Drops of purity lingered their thirsty lips

Like shy girls they bowed their heads

Faces hidden beneath the blond curls

Widowed by an unknown husband

Their heads wore the green hats of a cheated life

Clusteredly they gathered brow to brow

Awaiting the party that they dressed for all winter

Butterflies, humming birds, their usual dancing partners

Swaying to a voiceless tune

Welcoming the visit of their old friend

Spring

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inviting Spring is a type of flower that opens during early spring days. I'm not sure what they are called in English but by translating directly from Chinese they are called "Inviting Spring"
