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.
