Endings

When the nights are done
And we see the sun
A new day dawns
With hope for some

When the fairies of spring
With warm breath breathe
The snow from the winters
Will leave their freeze

When the bellies of clouds
Can hold no more
They spread their rains
To wash earths shores

When the grub that lived
Leaves its cocoon
On the flight of wings
Will play till noon

When the days are done
And we lay us down
The stars will twinkle
In the moons playground

When the ends that come
Make it hard to see
There is something new
To set us free.

I thought I saw this poem somewhere else among your entries. Unfortunately, the victim of the assailant in my prose entry received second-degree burns on his legs. The perpetrator resigned from the fire department in his city because of the incident. Your poem is nicely descriptive while being relatively easy to read and understand.
