Barely warm sun-rays are relished
The silver and grey bark shimmering in the pale sunshine
We look hopefully for the first bloom of green
Where is the Spring?
The snow begins to melt
Water trickles and pools
Barely warm sun-rays are relished
Hopes rise with spring’s promise
Brown earth greets us
Morning treks are muddy but no complaining
Warmth can be felt on face and hands
We patiently wait for spring’s colours
Awoken by fresh snow
Our hearts despair at cold and ice
Spring disappeared, winter has returned
How long do we have to suffer?
Another day of dullness and grey
Warm jackets pulled tight
Searching the sky for the golden globe
Where is Spring now?
Morning brings bright sunshine
Ice and snow receding
Hopes rise again
Maybe today will be the start of Spring
