Winter has intruded into cool February air
Leaving kisses in a blanket
To tuck the snowdrops back to sleep.
'There'll be no colour here
Not yet,' she seems to sigh
Adding soft simplicity
To a far too gaudy world.
A twinkle, a glow,
Bouncing back off each embrace
As she drapes her downy lace
Across each element of landscape,
Stroking Spring's restless head.
'Not yet, sister,
Rest, you slumber yet.'

Summer turns to Autumn, Old ways come undone, Replaced with cobwebs, Where laughter used to run. Autumn turns to Winter, New ways seem far bitter, Replaced with doubt, Where laughter used to shout.
