When Winter Sheds her Coat

The winter lake, a desert white and cold is rotting at the edges. Heavy mist lifts upward to the sky, the warmth of bold sun’s rays to frozen lake play’s alchemist. Cold snow-patched earth lies waiting for its chance to warm beneath the furnace of the sun to stretch and lengthen, bud and bloom each branch while wings of geese advise us Spring’s begun. As songbirds flit in from the South, and wend their way to old familiar trees to mate and brood, beneath the ground large roots awake and send new tendrils out to inch toward dring and food.      The secret world of Springtime hides below      when Winter sheds her coat in melt and flow.
