After the Thaw

Winter Winds
Everything withered, dead
Thin blood, unaccustomed to the cold 

Impatient
Bitter, Wishing for warmth
Shivering in a burrow of snow

Then, came You
Rain showers, soft soil, sun 
You are a flowered field in the Spring

Beginning
Like tadpoles sprouting legs
You are bullfrog songs in the moonlight
