mourning the passing of winter
goodbye to the crisp air
the long nights
the warmth that must come from within
so long snuggly flannel sheets
well worn flannel pajamas
so long so long
gone is the icy scent of snow
gone the sweet scent of fire
off in the distance.
I already miss you
twinkling lights and
I miss the song of winter
the coming on of spring
and summer
the coming on of warm
possibilities
despite your long days
your hot and humid days
I am thankful to see you
arriving again
like nothing happened
what a year can bring you
where a year can take you
how a year will make you
mourn the passing of winter
