Primavera

A "The Sonnet of Shadows" Challenge Entry

La Primavera by Sandro Botticelli

Spring’s gleam of overwhelming light

Completes the creeping birth of dawn,

Sates fleeting winter's looming flight

Through obscured shades of beauty’s brawn.

*

It harkens darkened hearts forlorn

Brightens the light of dew filled days

With the lushness of spring newborn,

Freeing shadows from love’s sworn slaves.

*

Birth amid dimmed life welcomes spring

With nymphs of light, songs it ignites

In floral umbra strewn, it brings

All t’ward the rays of summer’s plight:

*

Spring's birth from dark to light is hence

To spark the birth of love immense.
