A New Beginning

Grey mosaic skies, clouds burst into tears that flow, Sounds of blistering wind relentless continues to blow, Seeking shelters, ignoring hierarchical food chain, A glimmer of hope as a beam of sunlight shows in vain, Piercing through darkness in radiated rays of brilliance, Sounds of going forth to replenish lost souls for assurance, Symbols of blooms revealing continued intent to survive, Winged life flock in thousands, ready for spring to arrive, Out of hiding restructured beasts now ready and alive, Replenished water supplies, vegetation underfoot, we strive, A new beginning as life endures forgetting the past.
