Late February Poem
Late February, shadows stay,
Bare trees stretch, winter's sway.
Whispers of spring, tender tease,
Touches frost, gentle ease.
Snow retreats, earth revealed,
Sun grows bold, warmth unsealed.
Crocuses pierce cold earth's shield,
Color bursts, spring's yield.
Quiet shift, life renews,
Cycles flow, whispers true.
Late February, gift in tow,
Pause awaits spring's show.
