Around the Bend

The icicles have melted; The snow drifts lost some height. We took a walk this afternoon To bask in late-day light. My jacket was unbuttoned; I left my scarf behind. The birds were chirping gaily For there'd soon be worms to find. It felt not like a respite But more like a proper end As we bid farewell to winter Knowing spring's around the bend.
