End of Winter
A whisper through the trees, a subtle shift, As Winter's icy reign begins to lift. Beneath the snow, a hint of green peeks out, A silent, stirring symphony of sprout. Gone are the days of crystal frosted dawn, Of snowy blankets on the slumbering lawn. The sun, once distant, brings its warming light, To chase away the last of Winter's night. In every drop that from the icicles falls, There echoes Spring's persistent, beckoning calls. Buds, patiently waiting, now dare to appear, Proclaiming loud that Spring is nearly here. The frozen rivers start to softly flow, Their murmurs speak of changes down below. End of Winter, not an end, but a start, A cycle of life, playing its vital part. In this dance, the old and new intertwine, Where endings and beginnings finely align. So in this fleeting moment, take a pause, To honor Winter's beauty and its cause. For in its leaving, it whispers a truth, Of renewal, hope, and eternal youth. In every end, a beginning is sown, In the quiet demise of Winter, Spring is grown.
