Spring is here but Winter holds on with its brisk winds and upcoming storm.
It's time to remember: "No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn." (Hal Borland)
My dwarf weeping cherry tree enjoyed
its first bloom at the end of winter.
It's now waiting for spring to nourish it.
*******
winter winds wistfully whisper
a tingling tune across night sky
rejecting departure, earth's resistor
allows spring to sashay by
a tingling tune across night sky
welcomes brisk weather
allowing spring to sashay by
until seasons blend together
welcoming brisk weather
spring sun sways
until seasons blend together
in a playful way
spring sun sways
reigning as the sole survivor
in a playful way
spring becomes the advisor
