Winter's Escape

With the sun shining incredibly bright,
I woke to the trickle of melting snow.
Suggesting Spring had arrived overnight,
dripping icicles set my heart aglow.
And although Winter is holding on tight,
in a smattering of weeks, it'll let go.
And snowdrops will start sprouting from the ground;
as Winter disappears without a sound.
The honking of wild geese returning home;
a welcomed cacophony to my ears.
As frozen lakes pool into liquid chrome,
ice crystals morph into Spring's tepid tears.
And a sterile world, packed in Styrofoam,
revives, as it has for millions of years;
resurrecting colors Winter buried,
Spring germinates seeds; Autumn winds carried.
I am anxious to see patches of green,
polka dot the alabaster landscape.
Winter no longer dominates the scene;
skeletal shadows start changing their shape.
And every breath of air smells fresh and clean,
as Spring facilitates Winter's escape.
For it shines with an optimistic glow;
and soon, wildflowers will begin to show.
