Goodbye Winter
Winter's last breath lingers,
Warmth stirs beneath snow.
Frost-kissed boughs dream,
Winter bows, taking its bow.
Goodbye crisp nights, stars bright,
Silvery shroud over meadow.
Farewell long, cold night,
Welcome spring's gentle echo.
Hello daffodil's smile,
Symphony of life with thaw.
Buds unfurl mile by mile,
World reborn, winter's flaw.
Brooks murmur under sun's gaze,
Birds weave songs in azure dome.
Nature dances in spring's ways,
Spring whispers softly, "Welcome home."
