Notes About The Poem

Winter To Spring


Celebration - Winter to Spring


We celebrate spring equinox
   that day in March, at winter's end,
when spring awakens, resurrects
    with brand new landscape to attend.

Our winter days brought time to rest
   with colder days and pristine snow.
Her barren beauty did present
   that peaceful quiet, subdued glow.

Neath icy ground and bare dry limbs
   our winter was asleep at rest.
But oh, the glory in her womb
   as springtime stirs the winter nest.

Spring season is a magic time;
   from winter's dole new life is born,
and budding leaves on branch and vine
   bring forth new images, each morn.

New hope, new promise, spring has come;
   we celebrate the brand-new starts
with warmer days, green grass, blue sky...
   we feel the rebirth in our hearts.

Sandra M. Haight
