Just a Memory Away

February came in tiptoeing behind a frigid January, cold freed of snowing unchilled bones gathered in windy storms slowing; nature's creatures fluttered in winged flight as ground critters sheltered from the icy bite, winter's huff and puff faded in a welcomed reprieve; and beneath, the leaves blew away relieved, soothing warm brought in a brief spring day as daffodils burst forth and birdsong absorbed the rays and for a moment brief as spring could only tease, the sun glowed, bright to warm the day released and winter is just a memory away.
