To Fold a Season

O   pen up soft eyes,
to winter's frigid white tears
and the angel's veil.

R   elief dances wild
in each clean, rebellious flake,
blessing the night crease.

I   vory stars kiss
heaven's violet canvas,
a glistening sheet.

G   litter: a new life
in which the paper crane flies,
bathed in vernal dew.

A   zaleas now bloom
alongside Her majesty,
pressed gently at side.

M   orning star does smile,
its tender, gold, shining edge:
sprouting merriment.

I   t is the rhythm,
when winter bends into spring;
to fold a season...
