Winter's Ending

Quiet like the trees, Rustling in gentle whispers, Wrens, robins – scarlet Cardinals, listening for the Music of March winds Caressing the dancing daffodils, As they hasten to herald Spring’s laughing sunbeams, The wonder of sweetest Serenity, falling in tender Dewdrop desires, erasing the Past winter, melting Away the melancholic, ashen With vigorous flames, Pouring from crimson passion, Infernos of energies, Intentional, glowing light Across the azure skies, Remembering the wisdom Promising to soothe Away the pains of twilight Chill, ending frosts, ice Liquified by spring’s graceful Smile, the joy so alive It frees the heart to fly Beyond the oceans, in breezes As alive as the reasons Spring seems to bring with it The soft mellowness Breathed over the heart Who knows this is the rest Hastening to silence the dark With a sigh of inspiration, Burning away the desperation The former is gone… winter’s ending Brings spring’s beginning
