Spring snow

 

 

It snowed last night

The last we pray

Spring buds blight

On this frosted day

 

Those that survive

Will blossom soon

As temperatures rise

In the afternoon

 

Those that fail

Will quickly fall

To feed the soil

A transient pall

 

In a few short months

Under summer’s oast 

Blooms that once

Won against the frost

 

Will wilt and as their cousins fall

To feed the hungry garden soil

For generations yet to toil

Well expressed. Though it may pain us, nature carries on, the cycle never ends.
