Spring wanted to escape the clutches of winter,
it was waiting for its turn.
Through the clouds, touching the trees,
the sun had started to burn.
The opaque blue of the February sky
embraced the ball of heat.
Branches stretched to feel its warmth,
longing for a chance to meet.
Buried under mountains of snow,
blades of grass strained under its weight.
Buds of lilacs hidden in their shrouds
longed to achieve their beautiful fate.
But winter in its fit of rage
took hold of the sky again.
Suicidal snowflakes fell
and cloaked where spring had been.
Mercury fell and icicles formed,
the promise of warmth was gone.
Spring would have to lay in wait
to sing its beautiful song.

Lovely – but interesting as I was thinking the other day how much I don’t like spring – because it is just a gateway for summer – I love fall and winter – and want to hold on to those months for eternity.
I can imagine winter is lovely in Arizona….the perfect temperature. Need a roommate next winter? Lol
Oh you bettcha!
Beautiful! I could feel the power struggle between winter and spring. Poor spring just wasn’t strong enough to break through this time. Soon though 🙂
I can only hope so!!
Nice!!!
Thanks Daddy!!
I hear the song of spring year round.
But I think of the passing of seasons as a dance between siblings, each (reluctantly) giving way to the next, around and around.
Wow, apparently I’m very philosopjical discussing weather on mondays…
And very poetic! How was your weekend?
Too short. But they cut most of the bandage off my finger so I can use it a bit more, and I was able to cook, so at least I won’t starve.
Yikes….you really must have done a number on that finger!!
Lopped a good slice off the side. I’m guessing it will take a few months for the nail to grow back.
Well, I hope it mends quickly. Guess the guitars will be silent for a while.
I’ve been trying to play slide. Even wrse than usual!
LOL….I’m sure it still sounds pretty good!!
Very nice!
Thanks! (damn winter)

Thank you so much. 🙂
You have such a beautiful way with words 😀
I really appreciate you saying that, thank you.
