February Thaw

Bright sunshine with melting snow
And streams flowing down the street
Taking sands where it will go
The winter warm air was a treat

As I stood still, wondering why
At sparkling water near banks I saw
Dreams floating beneath the sky
In what was a mild ‘February - thaw’

Hi Heidi, this is such a wonderful poem to fill the heart with peace and joy. Before we know where we are Spring shall be upon us once again. Spring, the season of renewal. I stand in the heart of the beautiful canvas your words paint so beautifully. Love the content Heidi. Have a wonderful Friday. Hugs....Mike. XX

So beautiful Heidi I felt I was there witnessing the thaw. It has been quite cold here in the UK with some snow, although not where I live, and nothing like you are experiencing. Keep safe and warm Heidi, kindest thoughts Ann xx

Oh, I so wish this was true. We are having freezing rain here, and I would rather have what you were having. Nicely done Heidi. Thanks for the tease!

Yes, you are right. Long way to go yet, as it is only February. We still have feet of snow on the ground here. It was nice to have a break. Thank you Anne-Lise :)

Hi Darlene. Yes, it is a nice break. We had so many feet of snow, there is still plenty, but it was a joy today :) Have a nice evening!
