Winter’s snow does fall
Blanketing the frozen ground
While we wait for spring

Winter, how your colors fade
Oh, how I long, for leaves of jade
To take the gray, away from me
And paint the colors, splendid, free
Which quietly wait, a resurrection
Blending, a palette of perfection
With beauty rising, innocent of
The gloominess that you so love
Let me close my eyes, and see
How beautiful all things can be
Alas, you do not hear my cry
As I gaze into your barren sky

Do not look for me
Hidden in a fort
Beneath icy snow
Still falling carelessly above
Between the daffodils and daisies
Amidst the cool grasses
Of a wakening meadow
Along the dunes on the beach
Betwixt the waves
Crashing on the shore
Encompassed by leaves
Strewn across the ground
In no particular way
In the obvious places
You presume to find
A wandering spirit
I will not be there
Instead look within and find
A life otherwise uncommon
With its own rhythm
A heart’s journey
It is there you may find
Who you are seeking
It is there you will
Find me lost

Soundly tucked away
Nestled in evergreen beds
New life awaits spring

She sleeps until the light of dawn
Awakens with the sun
Welcomes busy little bees that sing
With her magic, she has spun
Lavender beauty, blessed
By Earth’s heavenly spring
