Encountering the Seasons

Nature’s garnishing
Us with crystal white
Soft and suttle under the moonlight

Frigid winds blow 
Here with a bite 
In the city 
We are all asleep so polite

Winter hasn't finished with us yet 
Before springs blossom come
She’s still a threat 

Reminding us of her wrath 
Bathing us with a path 
Of winter kisses 
And cold snowy wishes 

So don’t put away those boots 
Mother nature has new recruits 
To keep you busy 
Shoveling snow until your dizzy 

But don’t worry 
Spring will come in a hurry 
Bringing summer right behind 
Into the grind of hot weather 

Then we can all complain together!
