Prompt - How does this poem make you feel 1 to 12 lines

[] Upon a ridge In misty blue A lone tree Sways in song Dew drops Race A morning chill Calls Upon the dawn Season's change Rearrange A flowers dream Is gone A skyward gaze A quiet place Reflecting A long lost song []

For The Contest, "What Do You Feel?"
Sponsor, Rick Parisi
 

Oh, once I felt the warmth of balmy Spring;
breathed in the scent of blossoms, fresh and pure.
Thrilled with the sound of songbirds in the air,
as sprouting blades of tender grass appeared.
     Upon the dew, my seeds of hope were cast,
     And dreams grew in the magic days of Spring.

But now I feel the cold of Winter's snow;
the scent of blossoms turned to musty dust.
The chant of restless wind now fills my ears;
green tender grass, long grown, has gone to seed.
     Yet hopes lie buried deep in icy frost;
     and bright, new dreams emerge- to grow in snow.
