The Last Stronghold

Last night, the wind blew warm and strong.
Today, the creek has changed its song,
Reflecting all the melted snow
That's rushing to increase the flow.

Up in the hills, the ice defends
It's winter home and still pretends
That depth and cold tenacity,
Can yet defeat what is to be.

But gradually, the trickles start
Of tears shed from its glacial heart
And soon a torrent finds a place
To join the creek in its mad race.

I watch it as it gushes past
And see its passage as the last
Stronghold to fall, before the spring
Brings warmth and joy to everything!
