Winter wrapped Autumn in a shroud of white after Jack Frost had stripped the trees of green. And a contrite sun diminished its light; while a dulcet moon loaned Winter its sheen. And yet, when Spring arrives with poise and grace, Her tepid breath starts warming Winter's freeze. And as ice and snow melt without a trace, She grafts green stubble onto naked trees. Rain-soaked seeds await Nature's direction, as April showers quench a thirsty Earth. And overruling Winter's objection, Spring prepares the thawed soil for life's rebirth. Restoring color Winter's white washed out; tulips, trilliums, and daffodils sprout.
