February In Vancouver

February 16, 2010

Raindrops glisten on the trees, 
Sparkling in the morning sun
Soft, sweet spring air – 
Is it truly February?

Gentle little Crocuses, purple and pink
Awake so early, so brave, so eager!
A few towering Daffodils shining yellow
Stand proudly, daring winter’s touch

This year no whooshing down
Inviting slopes iced in white
Treks through crunchy snow replaced
With soggy walks in fields of green

Cherry blossoms exploding into
Dazzling pink before our eyes
Where has Jack Frost gone we wonder?
For we see no sign of him.

I could feel the chill narrated in lines, cold and b'fully sad winter morning. I love winters, they connect to our inner souls and thanks for your sweet remarks on who am...." yes, perhaps none is the answer to the question. Regards, Rinki.
