Winter's protected luminosity
Resplendently opening arms to
abundance
She's come again
Kissing their cheeks
Tousling their hair
Spring weaving warmth and chills
April's shade held firmly hostage
by winter's embrace
Stalwart, returning on twilight dusk
Buoyant youth rejoicing on
Repeat
Heralding the retreating
Vestiges of winter
Tipsy from the sweet nectar
of Spring's perennial promise
Running, screaming, laughing, sliding, swinging coats
scarcely hanging on
A blurred kaleidoscope of
Frenetic, pent-up aspiration
Barely perceptible green hues
Secretly whispering
Her return yielding
Warmth
Light
Life
