A Spring That Swept In

In a spring that swept in nothing but frost
Breath bating, waiting, no warmth did it bring
Lifting spirits stalled with chilling exhaust
In a spring that swept in

No rays emerge like young sunshine offspring
Our patience was low, now seems all but lost
Each degree lower with less hope to cling

When our page turned, nature over us glossed
Like a bird flying south missing a wing
Halted we're here when she's ready to sing
In a spring that swept in

Yes, the whisper of spring and her delicate touch. I understand completely, the wait. It seems winter's caress lingers lightly. Your thoughts bring a smile. Perhaps that will warm you for a while. :) Brandy

Aww. So sorry spring is late (chilly) Hat. You did write a good poem though so I guess all is not lost. Be well and have a great weekend:)
