The Return

Take a long look
throught the looking glass
see how the land you have known 
                   has changed
Shadows 
  which blocked 
  the sunlight 
are now blown by
the west wind
Warmth 
returns to the land,
to the fields,the forests,
the towns
Yet the bitter winds 
have left their mark on all of us
Can spring
revive us?
Will the shoots that 
rise up through
the verdant earth
renew us?
Creatures of nature
  that we are 
We need to know
that once again 
beautous flowers - a riot 
of glorious 
colors

Will grace our 
fields, forests and 
towns!

After the harshest winter
spring always returns
to dance her dance 
before our delighted eyes
