Winter's Last Snowfall
Winters last Snowfall
3/25/2016
The seasons of the year come and go.
Each so unique from the other.
I have always regretted the end of winter along with the seasons last snowfall.
Which brings a feeling of sorrow, with Spring’s arrival.
I observe the sun rise higher over the landscape with each passing day.
Watching the winter snow melting as the days get longer and warmer.
Causing the snow to melt from the top of the trees to the ground within days and weeks.
While Patches of snow are desperately hiding in shadows of day light and persisting though another cold spring nights.
Knowing that in a short time the snow will be totally gone.
Along with the excitement of winter.
Leaving only the memories of winter and cold gray sky's with falling snow.
Remembering cold winter nights that are aglow by a winter solstice moon shinning on a snow covered landscape.
The glow from the snow reflecting back toward the winter night sky with stars so bright.
For me it’s the most wonderful time of the year.
While counting the days till winter’s arrival and seasons first snowfall for the coming year.
