SPRING

 SPRING

As winter’s grip loosens,

snow comes and goes.

Ice that once covered the Bay,

breaks up and floats away.

Water that rumbled ,

now roars,

and winds that blew cold, 

are warm once more. 

The snow, 

that blanketed the forest, 

melts away. 

Chickadees,

more vocal,

still dee-deeing,

search for food, and

are joined by other birds,

a chorus in the forest.

Life on hold, 

now comes alive, 

and thrives,

as spring takes hold.
