Spring
Erases Winter
The
season of snow
Comes
to an end
As
all things must
Winter
melts with
The
residue of ice
Making
way for the spring
As
the budding of trees
And
crocuses sprouting
Forecast
the changing seasons
And
the clock moving forward
As
days last longer
Lighting
the path
To
sow in the furrows
As
farmers make ready
Their
crops and their calves
The
joys of the springtime
With
windows wide open
As
freshness entices
Another
repast
Of
seasonal splendor
Luxurious
colors
Drinking
the water
From
diminishing snow
Anther
year’s cycle
Moving
forward
As
spring erases winter
With
pleasures that last
