Last Snow
Winter's reign wanes,
Last snow falls,
Soft veil descends,
Earth frail, pale.
Each flake, cold kiss,
Season's story unfolds.
Bare branches catch,
Last snow's embrace.
Sun peeks through,
Spring's promise near.
Melting memories,
New life found.
Air hums softly,
Winter's goodbye,
Spring's hello.
Last snow ends,
World's laughter begins.
