Winter Cries

When spring arrives quickly, winter cries The snow melts, flowing down the streets Filling the brooks where gurgling waterfalls sing From the banks while birds in the trees are watching The tear dampened ground holds the tears Like a friend, holding out their open hands To catch your emotions at just the right time As they spill into bright new beginnings Last bits of winter are left behind, stranded In patches of snow on wet flattened grass The sunshine beats down, warmth, rejuvenation As remnants melt into the hours of winter’s goodbye Heidi Sands 4/11/17
